Prime Focus Krakatoa v1.6.1.43756 For 3DS Max 32Bit & 64Bit
Krakatoa
KRAKATOA? is Thinkbox Software’s production-proven Volumetric Particle Rendering, Manipulation and Management Toolkit.
It provides a pipeline for acquiring, caching, transforming, modifying, deforming, culling, 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.
What’s New in Krakatoa v1.6.0
For a detailed bullet list of changes, please see here.
Short Overview
Krakatoa v1.6.0 was initially planned as a minor point release under the version number 1.5.2, but sudden demand for additional features from the in-house production teams caused these plans to change dramatically.
Not all features developed in this cycle are included in the 1.6.0 release, some of them will need some more polishing before making it into a commercial version. Regardless, what is in final build is quite useful and should improve both existing workflows and performance and provide new tools in several areas.
In short, the major improvements in Krakatoa v1.6.0 can be grouped in the following categories:
Increased Performance of particle loading, lighting, matting and rendering;
New Shadow Generation Workflow introducing OpenEXR-based Deep Opacity Maps;
Render Elements Support using the 3ds Max workflows;
MagmaFlow improvements including new Surface Operators for geometry data lookup;
New FumeFX direct rendering workflow via a dedicated PRT FumeFX object and FumeFX 2.0 support;
Improved UI Startup Performance;
Optimized User Interface Navigation;
MAXScript Reading Access to Particle Data;
Major Bug Fixes and
Workflow improvements across the board.
