In the fast-paced world of visual effects (VFX) and game development, liquid simulation has always been one of the most challenging—and captivating—tasks. From water and blood to fire, oil, or molten chocolate, achieving realistic fluid behavior often requires heavy computation and long render times. But with LiquiGen, that reality is changing.
After the huge success of EmberGen for fire and smoke simulation, JangaFX is now pushing boundaries again with LiquiGen, a new real-time liquid simulation tool designed to empower creators like never before.
What is LiquiGen? 🤔
LiquiGen is a next-generation software tool for real-time liquid simulation. It allows users to create and edit a wide variety of fluid types with incredible speed and visual fidelity. Built on the same design philosophy as EmberGen, LiquiGen makes fluid simulation interactive, intuitive, and fast.
“What you see is what you get” — no more waiting for long simulations or final renders.
What Makes LiquiGen Different? ✨
🔄 Real-Time Simulation
See your changes instantly—LiquiGen removes the painful waiting period from the creative process.
🧠 Advanced PIC/FLIP Solver
A powerful hybrid solver that can generate highly realistic effects like spray, foam, bubbles, and fluid splashes.
🧪 Viscosity Control Per Emitter
From water and blood to thick fluids like honey or melted chocolate, LiquiGen supports precise viscosity and stickiness settings on a per-emitter basis.
🧵 High-Quality Meshing
Convert particles into beautiful liquid surfaces using built-in meshing tools with controls like dilate, erode, open, and close for optimizing mesh quality.
🎥 Industry-Standard Outputs
LiquiGen supports exporting to:
- Alembic (.abc) for meshes and particles
- EXR, PNG, TGA for image sequences
- Flipbooks and Vertex Animated Textures (VAT) for game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity
🧩 Node-Based Interface
Inspired by EmberGen, LiquiGen features a node-based UI that makes setup and experimentation fast, flexible, and beginner-friendly—no scripting needed.
Real-World Use Case 🎮
Imagine you’re working on a fast-paced action game and need to simulate blood splatter hitting a wall. With LiquiGen, you can:
- Create a dynamic, realistic simulation in under 10 minutes
- Export it as Vertex Animated Texture (VAT)
- Import it directly into Unreal Engine for use in-game
All without having to bake long simulations or wait for offline rendering.
Who Is It For? 🎯
- Game Developers: Create water, slime, blood, or sticky fluids for gameplay or cinematic sequences
- VFX Artists: Design realistic explosions, rainfall, floods, or underwater scenes
- Animation Studios: Simulate dramatic liquid effects for film or advertising with speed and ease
Why LiquiGen Has a Bright Future 🚀
With its focus on performance, ease of use, and production-ready results, LiquiGen is well-positioned to become the new industry standard for liquid simulation. Backed by JangaFX’s ongoing innovation and user-focused development, it’s an exciting time for creators working with fluids.
If you’re looking to streamline your workflow, cut down on production time, and bring stunning visuals to life, LiquiGen is a smart and future-proof investment.
