I have been playing along, trying to learn how Krakatoa works, and I think I’m getting it (kinda)
I will post here some of my tests, nothing really fancy, just proof that it is working.
“smoke 03A.mov” took around 22 minutes to render the animation. X-Particles, around 20Million particles, maximum render time per frame, 7 seconds, including X-Particles generation.
Quite impressive I admit
smoke 03A.mov (1.66 MB)
smoke A.mov (2.52 MB)
and a few more.
Please forgive the grainy look that some tests have. I was still learning
XP test A2 H264.mov (1.41 MB)
XP test AH264.mov (333 KB)

Awesome, thank you very much for sharing!
Keep them coming!
I’ve tried to no avail, to get link color between XParticles and Krakatoa.
Can you speak about how you connected the two?
Nice tests btw.
works of the shelf, just the display color of the X-Particles will be read by Krakatoa natively.
thanks for the compliments
it’s funny how 3 minutes in XParticles and half an hour rendering can give such a mesmerising visual.
This is frigging exciting!!!
Now, as for the colour from X-Particles, I’m not using the X-Particles Material.
For now, all I have used is the Display colour of the X-Particles Emitter.
Set it to Color Mode-> Gradient (Parameter), select age, and off you go.
I’m going to make a couple of tutorial videos over the next week to get you guys going.
I had a fair bit of spare time these days and put it towards learning Krakatoa. I’ll share my experiences very soon.
new movie.
3 minute setup, 28 minutes render, max 7 seconds per frame.
10Mio Particles.
Thank you so much for posting these. It’s very exciting to see Krakatoa in C4D working. Thanks again for the testing and tutorial videos, and for posting on the forums!
