Why use Fumefx?
There are lot of dynamics tools in 3D application packages, and Maya is no exception. However, I don’t like it quite as much as Fumefx. Fumefx is much easier to use and so I think it’s better than the built-in tools. On top of that, it has great interaction with V-ray and other renderers so it’s pretty much the go-to option for the industry in both production and video game design. The latest version claims that it works up to twice as fast as version 3.0, so it’s also a great solution for optimising your workflow.
