Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - Prime Focus Software, the R&D arm of Prime Focus, is seeking visual effects companies and individuals to participate in the Beta Testing program for Krakatoa 1.6. The software toolset is Prime Focus' production-proven volumetric particle rendering, manipulation, and management toolkit that creates believable natural phenomena like dust, smoke, silt, ocean surface foam, plasma, and even solid objects. Beta testers will get a sneak-peek at Krakatoa 1.6, which will be loaded with a host of new features and performance enhancements. This is an open beta program, so you don't have to be a current client to join.
Krakatoa 1.6 will be unveiled at the SIGGRAPH annual conference, to be held in Los Angeles, Calif. from July 27-29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center at the Prime Focus booth #747. The actual release of Krakatoa 1.6 is scheduled for late August.
