Render a z-depth image for Krakatoa particles

Krakatoa for 3ds Max
1

Hello al,

Is there a quick way to setup Krakatoa 1.5 to render a z-depth image for compositing purposes?
It seems possible with Magma Flow, but are there other ways to do this? (i.e. 3ds Max maps, a hidden button in the Krakatoa GUI, etc )
Any help (including Magma Flow examples) is appreciated.

Set the emission output to the magnitude of the difference between the position channel and the camera position vector.

Turn off lighting, set the density to be very high, and set the filter to nearest neighbor.

Normalize the raster result if needed.
