hi Bobo,

thanks!



I guess it does, I’m just have to find that drop down menu.

I know it look amazing, but I don’t find it. Do I need a coffee? probably yes.

THANKS!

Hey there,



here at NL we’ve made a mention to Krakatoa. Just in case you want to see it, it’s at:

Hi Bea,



This is great, thank you and everybody involved (like Victor Gonzalez) for the nice article!



I will put a link on both the Web Resources thread here and on the documentation page.



Btw, Krakatoa 1.1 will finally be able to load dynamic sequences from RealFlow into Particle Flow including dying and newborn particles handling… Stay tuned!



Cheers,

Bobo

Oh, and btw, we fixed the “channel_map error” when saving particles from Max PFlow to BIN. It was related to having multiple events and one of them containing no particles. The fix will be part of the upcoming 1.1 update.

Hi!

that’s great! thanks for the links!

Btw, we’re very intrigued about v1.1. Let me see if I got it correctly, is it like you’re considering to import/export scripted scenes like foams and so?



Cheers!

What we have implemented in 1.1 is a way to deal with BIN and PRT particle sequences containing an ID channel dynamically.

There is no demo restriction except for the watermark and the disabled network rendering. So it must be an issue with ultralong BIN files. We have no problem reading files of that size when they are PRTs, so there must be something BIN specific going on. Can you post a screenshot of the actual error message? (even if it is in Spanish)
