Krakatoa Maya - Jul. 20, 2012

Attached is the first build of the Krakatoa Maya. Note: This is NOT an exporter. It is a fully integrated render plugin for Maya.

It is currently only built on Windows for Maya 2011 and 2012, but a Linux build will be in the next release.

Key features include:

  • Fully integrated into Maya, unlike our previous “Maya to Krakatoa SR” exporter.
    [list]
    [*]Render dialog integration.
  • Render viewport progress integration.

    ]PRT Loader object.[/:m]
    [
    ]PRT Volume object to fill scene meshes with a volume of particles.[/:m]
    [
    ]An installer.[/*:m][/list:u]

Limitations of this release (this will be fixed in the next release):

  • Matte meshes are currently ignored by the renderer.
  • Directional lights have slightly different behavior than the Maya Software renderer.

Please provide feedback and report bugs on the forums! As this is a preliminary release, I expect many things will need to change and evolve. After this point, we will likely stop developing the Krakatoa Maya exporter, and concentrate on the integrated renderer.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have the previous “exporter” installed, please delete or move its folder before installing this new plugin.
