Thinkbox Krakatoa MY 2.7.1 | 22.5 mb

Thinkbox Software announced the release of Krakatoa MY 2.7.1, the latest version of its high-volume particle renderer for Autodesk Maya.

About Thinkbox Krakatoa MY.

Krakatoa MY shares the same core as Thinkbox’s existing 3ds Max renderer Krakatoa MX and the standalone Krakatoa SR, and “should produce identical, pixel-exact output given the same particle data and settings”

Key features of Krakatoa MY include:

- Point or voxel representation of particle data, with various filter modes, motion blur and depth of field camera effects, and HDRI render passes output to OpenEXR files

- Simultaneous support of both additive and volumetric shading models, with per-particle control over color, emission, absorption, density and more

- Support for various light scattering algorithms, high-quality self-shadowing and occlusions from both geometry and DTEX maps

- Dedicated particle loader object supporting Krakatoa .PRT file sequences, RealFlow .BIN file sequences and .CSV file sequences, with the ability to offset, retime, combine and modify already cached particles

- Dedicated PRT Volume and PRT Fractal objects inside the Maya viewports provide procedural particle creation from polygon mesh volumes and mathematical algorithms

- Particle partitioning tools for caching multiple versions of the same simulation to combine into high-density particle clouds

- Particle repopulation for render-time conversion of low-count simulations into high-count particle clouds

Thinkbox says that the renderer, which is CPU-based, is “highly optimized and heavily multi-threaded”, and is capable of running on laptops or render nodes “without dedicated high-end graphics accelerators”.
