Apart from the usual scene exchange workflow through the plugins
and SD format, RF4 provides an advanced feature aimed at optimizing
resources and saving memory;bin and new .md and .pd file formats.
An SDK is available for these two formats, so anybody can create
their own translator. |

The RF4 tool set has been reorganized, based on the logical
use of the program, in order to have a clear workspace with
nothing to disturb you. Layout customizing is very fast and
dynamic. You will have all the tools that you need, when you
need them. |

You can now apply Python language scripts to five areas of RF:
batch runs, events, daemons, waves and fluids. Next Limit has
designed a full palette of functions that gives users almost
total control of simulations, opening up endless possibilities. |

The new workflow's efficiency is a result of Next Limit’s listening
to users. From scene creation where everything is automated,
to the possibility of choosing a custom output that fits your
pipeline. We have made the workflow faster and easier for you,
and have included more preferences. |
