Magic pictures, did a complete overhaul of his mesher and solver Aqmesher, and now rebranded as Aquarius.
The new changes are in deed quite big, we have now an MPM solver CUDA accelerated, capable to simulate liquids, sand, snow, or mud. Together with its Grid and Flip solvers, allow the artist for a wide variety of solvers to use for each scenario. It also can simulate smoke/fire, it has a complete node system with all types of math nodes for low level control, and all types of vdb manipulation.
