EmberGen is a real-time volumetric fluid simulation tool that can instantly simulate, render, and export flipbooks, image sequences, and VDB volumes. With EmberGen, you can create anything from fire and smoke, to explosions and magic wisps. EmberGen gives you the creative freedom to iterate on your simulations in a few milliseconds instead of hours.

Disclaimer For Games: EmberGen does not export volumetric data to game engines at this time, but it will in the future.

With other tools, you change a parameter and have to wait hours just to see the result. With EmberGen, when you change a parameter the simulation and render will update instantly. Your simulation/render frame rate heavily depends on your GPU.  EmberGen requires a GTX 1060 or greater, and both NVIDIA and AMD cards can be used.

From dealing with other fluid simulation programs, you might expect a steep learning curve or software that's difficult to use. EmberGen is the exception, built to be as intuitive and easy to use as possible. Therefore, we use an expansive node based system. We'll also ship the software with many examples for you to pick apart and learn from. More details will be coming soon.

With all other fluid simulation tools on the market, not a single one of them is built specifically with games in mind. EmberGen was created to give you full creative freedom when creating flipbooks and image sequences for your games. With VFX Artists having to do things in real-time, shouldn't your tools should be real-time too? Iterate with unprecedented speed and get the perfect flipbook within minutes instead of days.

We support common industry formats such as VDB, PNG, TGA and EXR for exports. If you need image sequences, or volumes, EmberGen has you covered. EmberGen is very useful for rapid iteration during pre-viz and is capable of producing high quality simulations for use in feature films. As development progresses we will add more film-centric features such as alembic camera imports and fluid collision with imported meshes.
