Powerful visual programming environment
Get full control over your effects with visual tools that allow you to select, connect, experiment and tweak. Using a single visual programming graph called the Bifrost Graph Editor, you can do scattering, instancing, deformation, volume processing, dynamic simulation and more – without having to worry about switching contexts. When you are ready, it is easy to package up your custom effects as portable graphs for other artists at the studio to use (and re-use) across different shows, scenes and shots.

New to visual programming? From dust storms and volumetric clouds to fire and explosions, our library of pre-built graphs makes it quick and easy to craft blockbuster-worthy effects right out of the box or use them as a solid starting point to create your own custom effects. You can then publish your graphs to the Bifrost Browser for your team to easily find and re-use.

Deceptively natural-looking effects
Simple artistic controls make it easy to create a wide range of real-world effects, fast. Bifrost’s physically-based solvers for aerodynamics and combustion perform computational chemistry and thermodynamics to simulate the physical reactions of smoke, fire and explosions. With Bifrost’s MPM solver, you can create granular materials like snow or sand and even materials like fibre and cloths.

Knowing how effects will look after lighting and rendering often comes down to guesswork, posing the risk of time-consuming iterations later on in production. With Arnold integrated in Maya, you can see exactly what your effects will look like right in the Arnold Viewport, eliminating risky guesswork and providing a more creatively engaging experience.
