This build is a feature complete release candidate, which fixes all the known bugs with the previous betas. Please stress test it like crazy, and let us know if you run into any crashes or unexpected behaviors.
Here are the major changes in this release:
KRAKATOA GUI
- Additional logging during the rendering process, including more detailed performance profiling statistics.
PARTICLE CHANNELS, MEMORY USAGE AND SPEED IMPROVEMENTS
- The Sorting methods have been replaced with a single new sorting algorithm which operates on the new channel data and is fully multi-threaded. The user can control the number of threads or let Krakatoa use all available CPUs.
PARTICLE LOADER
- The Normals From Surface feature respects the Threshold value.
- The Normals From Surface are now smoothly blended with the preexisting normals.
NEW CAMERA MODIFIER
- Krakatoa now has a modifier that allows the specification of projection type (Perspective, Orthographic, Spherical) and depth of field settings.
