Krakatoa Beta 5 is now available

Krakatoa beta build 0.9.5 is now available for download.

This build contains another significant set of changes to the workflow and capabilities of the particle renderer.

Enhancements include a new PRT Loader object (available in the Create|Objects panel under "Krakatoa"):

  • simplifies loading and management of PRT particle partition files
  • allows separate transforms per loader
  • preview particles in viewport
  • separate viewport and render settings
  • supports offsetting time

Other enhancements this release:

  • Specular Highlight rendering
  • (limited) support for particle normals
  • Improved toggling of particle systems to render
  • Improved manual partition creation

I apologize for any confusion, but we have pulled build 0.9.5 pending some additional revisions.

A new build will be posted shortly.  For now, please continue beta testing with build 0.9.4.
