Interoperability with FumeFX

Krakatoa provides support for Sitni Sati's FumeFX Fluid Simulation plug-in via its integration with Particle Flow:

• FumeFX simulations can be loaded into Particle Flow using FumeFX' own operators.
• Particle Colors can be defined using Particle Flow colors and materials, including splitting particles to multiple events by temperature using FumeFX Tests to achieve temperature-based gradients shading in Krakatoa.

Advanced support for FumeFX including direct access to particle color based on temperature data may be added in future releases of Krakatoa.

Krakatoa can be used in conjunction with FumeFX to create fine detail in addition or as an alternative to the FumeFX native volumetric shading - since Krakatoa can visualize the flow of particles at sub-pixel resolution, even very coarse simulation grids can produce very detailed flows. See FumeFX Test in the W.I.P. Gallery for an example.
