And having toyed with the beta version, I am pleased with what I saw. Much more stable, faster. The scriptability is awsome. You can loop through all the particles, do stuff on them like getNeighbors(float distance), setVelocity(), is Colliding(), getCollidingObject() and the performance is quite impressive. You can run scripts at each simulation step, and at each frame. You can script your own forces.

In RF3, I have never been able to make real viscous fluids (>30) without a crash. In RF4, I was able to crank it up to 100 with simulation sub-steps around 25.

We still have to wait for a new plugin for XSI though. The old one still works for meshes but not for particles. Let's see how much time this will take.
