A new version of Krakatoa, Prime Focus’s massive particle-set management tool, is upon us and boasts support for FumeFX particles, Thinking Particles 4, 3dsMax Render Elements, and fully multi-threaded rendering support.
“Gone are the days of renders jamming on a million particles, we’re now chewing up tens of millions. With an increasing number of great features, like updated support for RealFlow particle data and improved integration with FumeFX and Thinking Particles, plus the improved connection between Maya and Max via FBX, Krakatoa provides us with a particle manipulation and rendering tool that really breaks down barriers on our VFX work. On top of that, Prime Focus continues to update it quickly, and provide fast helpful responses to tough production questions. It is quickly becoming an overall hub for our particle work and we’re very excited to be working with this great tool.”
Still not for the faint of wallet tho, at $1000 for the base version with 2 render-licenses, and $200 per render license after that.
