Secondary splashes
Fracture Tool RealFlow 2012 now provides a built-in, easy-to-use tool to create fractured objects directly within your project.
Voronoi fracturing method
Automatic generation of multibody node for fractured object
Optimized fractures for Caronte
Retimer Tool The Retimer Tool in RealFlow 2012 works on any of the RealFlow 2012 elements and opens up a world of possibilities:
Bullet time effects
Reversed simulations
Slow motion effects
All these are now just a few clicks away with no need to re-simulate!
Servos Engines
Dynamic simulations controlled by engines
By using Servos, it is possible to use RealFlow's dynamics solver to animate rigid bodies in a physically-correct fashion
GUI Enhancements
New Layers panel – faster workflow, easier simulation, improved visibility
RealFlow 2012 also comes with some new shortcuts shelves
Nodes list can now be filtered by name
WHAT MAKES IT AWESOME?
SCALE: In RealFlow 2012, we give you large-scale fluid simulations to match any on the market – straight out of the box. With RealFlow, you don't need to be a software programmer to set up a fantastic sim – just choose your settings and you're ready to go!
REALISM: The latest version of RealFlow gives you an unprecedented level of realism, with the power to control and customize every aspect of your scene to get exactly what you want.
EASE OF USE: RealFlow is quick and easy to incorporate into your workflow. An inbuilt help system takes you step-by-step through scene setup to completion. And of course, our rapid, personalized technical support and access to the official RealFlow forum means you never need to wait for an answer.
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE: RealFlow isn't just a fluid simulation tool – it also includes the ground-breaking Caronte, an accurate, reliable dynamics solver that can handle thousands of objects. With every standard license, you get a free RealFlow Renderkit license, which greatly facilitates and accelerates the rendering process. RealFlow also comes with free plug-ins to all major 3D platforms, as well as a wealth of free resources, tutorials, and a year of free technical support and maintenance
Please note that each RealFlow 2012 Standard license comes with one free RealFlow RenderKit v2.2 license

I recently ordered an Ipod Nano (for a gift), and the website said it usually ships in 48 hours. Turns out that the item was backordered. When I called, I spoke to a person in shipping, and then via email with customer service. Both of them were friendly, sympathetic and responsive to my issues. Customer service was attentive to my needs. The product arrived early that next week and we are totally happy.
