Krakatoa MX 2.5.2 Released

Krakatoa for 3ds Max
#1

You can read the details here:

In short, FumeFX 4.0.4 broke compatibility with its own file format, so we needed to include an updated FumeFXIO.DLL from Sitni Sati to fix that.

We fixed display of large points in Nitrous DirectX 11 using a custom shader.

The Memory and threads management was improved to provide better performance while avoiding running out of memory due to too many large image buffers when rendering very high resolutions.

Fixed some sub-frame interpolation problems in PRT Loader.

LiDAR files with 64 bit position data (e.g. a LAS or LAZ file) loaded in the PRT Loader can now be saved correctly to PRT file which defaults to 32 bit floats for Position.

Stay tuned for an upcoming Krakatoa MX 2.6 update which is in the works and will bring some new features and further workflow improvements.

Hi Bobo,

We are using Krakatoa 2.5.2 and FumeFX 4.0.4 and still getting this error (Unable to load FumeFXIO.dll) on all the workstations we tested.

To describe in shortly, we are reading channels from FumeFX .fxd with inputField in Magma.

Also I noticed in Stoke 2.2.1 there is FumeFXIO.dll at C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Stoke MX\3dsMax2015.

If this is the updated Fume ddl from Sitni Sati maybe we can use it in Krakatoa? Is there a fix to this issue?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi. There should have been a FumeFxIO.dll that was installed to the same director as the MaxKrakatoa.dlr file (eg. C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Krakatoa MX\3dsMax2015). If this file is missing, Stoke 2.2.1 did indeed ship with the FumeFX 4.0.4 compatible version of the DLL, so copying the file over should solve the issue.

Seems like it is still giving the same error. Maybe I can Upload the scene and cache for one file?

In the meanwhile we might just use the Stoke FieldLoader and load it from there…

Cheers,
Martin

If you could do that, I’ll take a look.

Hi Evan,
Uploading the scene a cache file for frame 1050. Both prt and fxd. We are using a partitioning, but I have uploaded only one cache so just don’t mind if it says it is missing the other prt parts.

Thanks,
Martin

I’m definitely able to reproduce this error on my end, so we will look into it and get it fixed for the next version of Krakatoa MX.

In the mean time, does the workaround of using a Stoke FieldLoader work for you?

#8

Hi again,

Yes we will try to use the stoke Field loader instead.

Cheers,
Martin
