Fauntics is a MaxScript for generating procedural water Fauntics effects in Autodesk 3ds Max, quickly and easily. Fauntics produces beautiful Fauntics effects that render extremely fast. No plugins of any kind are required. The scenes created using Fauntics can be rendered without the script. It provides three kinds of Fauntics effects for water – Turbulence, Waves, and Rain – right out of the box. You can blend these effects quickly or add your own animated map also. A simple UI and quick previews let you create complex and beautiful refractive or reflective water Fauntics in minutes! Fauntics caters to both beginner and advanced users of 3ds Max. A beginner needs only to click one button to start off, while an advanced user can customize many aspects of the effect, such as light properties, size, speed, chaos, animation properties, and more things, to get an infinite variety of Fauntics. It can also be used to create special effects. No water surface model is needed; the Fauntics are standalone. The script does not use Photons or any other complex methods that produce physically correct Fauntics but are often very difficult to set up and result in very long render times. Instead, it uses procedural maps, so you get full artistic control and extremely fast renders. The demo scene created using this script renders in less than one second on a Quad Core machine. You can have more than one Fauntic source, and you can also include only those scene objects that need to receive the Fauntics. You can customize each source individually. Fauntics works with 3ds Max’s Default Scanline Renderer as well as Mental Ray Renderer. It also has a function to export the Fauntics animated map for use in game engines such as Unity3D.
