Welcome to the Krakatoa 1.2 Beta Forum.
The old welcome thread from the Webboard was lost in transition, so here we go again.
This forum is for the upcoming Krakatoa 1.2 Beta test which should start sometime in June.
Please feel free to post wishes for 1.2 and beyond (if they are new, we have all wishes from the old forum logged).
The focus of this new Krakatoa version will be speed, particle and mesh deformation improvements, shading improvements, workflow and user interface improvements and anything we can squeeze in between.
As you have probably noticed, we had to skip the 1.2 version of Krakatoa and we are aiming at doing a 1.5 Beta instead.
This means that instead of the incremental update we were planning, internal visual effect production demands resulted in a much more significant feature list that pushes Krakatoa into an area we were planning for much later.
The up side of this is you will get some exciting new abilities earlier than expected, the down side is that the next major update of Krakatoa will be sometime early 2009 instead of fall 2008.
