Krakatoa1.6.0.43178 For 3DsMax 2011,2010 32Bit & 64Bit
KRAKATOA? is Prime Focus’ production-proven Volumetric Particle Rendering, Manipulation and Management Toolkit.
It provides a pipeline for acquiring, caching, deforming, shading and rendering vast quantities of particles at unprecedented speed to represent natural phenomena like dust, smoke, silt, ocean surface foam, plasma and even solid objects. Krakatoa? integrates well with Particle Flow, the flexible 3ds Max built-in Event-Driven Particle System, and provides data exchange capabilities for sharing particles with other 3D and simulation applications.
Feature Set
Particle Sources:
Input particles from 3ds Max particle systems like Particle Flow and Thinking Particles.
Use geometry vertices as particles.
Load particle files in Krakatoa?s PRT format, CSV files or RealFlow BIN files.
Rendering Options:
Render using volumetric or additive shading models. The volumetric model simulates attenuation due to the density of particles that the light passes through accurately modeling physical light.
Particles can be rendered as self-illuminated, or with volumetric lighting. Use specular shading when the particles have normals.
Shade particle color and density with 3ds Max material?s color and opacity, or supply a custom color, use blended z-depth and blended camera distance as alternate methods.
Full support for motion and depth of field effects. Use 3ds Max?s built-in multi-pass effects for compatibility.
User can cache particle pipeline results in RAM before or after the lighting phase ? allowing for quick adjustments to lighting parameters or camera placement.
Partitioning
Advanced partitioning enables more particle rendering than 3ds Max can normally process by itself. When running Max in conjunction with Deadline?, users can distribute large particle simulation jobs over multiple machines.
By evaluating the same system multiple times ? with different random seeds for each partition ? Krakatoa? can generate massive particle counts.
Recombine partitioned files and render them as a single particle cloud.
Ultimately, the only limitation on particle counts is your available RAM.
Interaction With Other Renderers
Load specified scene geometry to act as matte objects, obscuring particles from the camera and casting shadows onto particle systems.
Use shadowing attenuation maps created during the rendering process to project shadows from particles onto scene geometry in other renderers. Several provided scripts simplify the process of switching between renderers and re-applying the shadowing attenuation maps to the scene lights.
PRT Loader
Krakatoa?s PRT loader allows users to preview input particle files in the 3ds Max viewport ? and specify how they will load and render in Krakatoa?.
Apply 3ds Max object space and world space modifiers to particles just like any other object.
Use custom geometry to cull volumes for selectively deleting particles.
Playback graph lets users change timing on particle sequences.

Wooowooow! Superb! thanks!
Always thanks for your sharings.
But i suggest you something important.
Please change filenames with some meaningless chars when you upload
and set some long password to it.
Without these, they can always search filenames and delete it easily.
(And i guess they can also do it automatically)
Thanks a lot!.. anyone tried to install it on Max 2011?? I installed and ran Add to 3ds Max but doesnt work.. any ideas?
I haven’t tried this myself yet, but someone else had posted on the forum ….
1. Install the software.
2. Copy the krakatoa.lic to c:\flexlm\ Directory.
3. Under C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMaxDesign\2011 ? 64bit\enu\Plugin.UserSettings.ini
Open it with NotePad and just right under the line [Directories], add this two lines
4. Save it.
5. Run 3ds Max 2011 or Design 2011 and a new option will appear in the Main Menu under the name Krakatoa. You?ll also find the Krakatoa menu under Geometry, and under Assign Render.
Woot! It works! Thanks.
youre the best!
THX a lot!
thanks dude very very thanks you have made my day thank you play dvd boy
Anybody know KRAKATOA tutorial
@sit – try this one, it’s a simple tutorial but you can create awesome things with it ^^

thanks Morgoth
Same here, didnt install.
Running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate with 8 Gig QX9650.
Got about three quarters of the way through the install, and hit me up with this error:
Could not open key:
UNKNOWN\Components\. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personel.
Normally, this means that someone forgot to install the program using, “Run As Administrator”.
However, the installation file in this case is an, “.MSI” file, and Windows does not allow you to run an, “.MSI” file as an administrator.
the installation runs right through until “publishing product information”. then it fails saying: “an error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.CRT blah blah etc.”
any ideas what I can do?
Getting the same error as you man, tried googling the error code but got nothing… anybody have any ideas? ive tried downloading a few from different links but they all come up with this message…
the error refers to the Visual C ++ distributable from microsoft … try updating to the latest version of this and try again. If not, then it was probably used to pack the .exe, and is corrupted (either by itseld or during your download). In which case nothing can be done about it, but look for another source.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.

After installation can’t find dir C:\Program Files\Frantic Films\Krakatoa\ in my Win7 64bit. And can’t find installed MaxKrakatoa.dlr file to replace
P.S. Krakatoa is working but not licensed..
Ok, install dir is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Prime Focus\Krakatoa\3dsMax2010\x64
