• Rigid body simulation （Rigid body simulation）： It can simulate the motion of solids
• soft simulation （Soft body simulation）： Simulate body parts , Water drop , Oil and other aggregates with certain deformation and fluidity
• Clothing simulation （Cloth simulation）： Simulate clothes , Fold , Motion is collision, etc . May replace Marvleous Designer
• Fluid simulation （Fluid simulation）： Simulated liquid , Especially water
• Motion tracking （Motion tracking）： Track the motion state of an object or use the tracking data for 3d object
• synthesis （Compositing）： Assemble images or movies that use composite nodes ,nuke Substitution of
• Video sequencer （Video sequencer）： Video clip ,pr Substitution of
