Bifrost makes it possible for 3D artists and TDs to create complex effects in Maya quickly and easily using a new visual programming environment. TDs can create custom graphs in the Bifrost Graph Editor and package them up for artists at their studio to use across different shows, scenes, and shots. Artists can also take advantage of a wide array of ready-to-use graphs to create effects like fire, smoke, explosions, sand, and snow right out-of-the-box. Previously, Bifrost included the following features: Bifrost Fluids, a procedural framework that can create simulated liquid and aerodynamic effects using a FLIP (fluid implicit particle) solver. BOSS, the Bifrost Ocean Simulation System. With Bifrost Extension for Maya, two additional features are included: Bifrost Graph, a new node-based, visual programming environment where you can build procedural graphs to create effects such as sand, fire, smoke, and explosions. bifcmd, a tool that executes these procedural graphs directly on the command line.
