EmberGen Beta Available
JangaFX has announced that EmberGen, its new simulation tool, is now available in beta.
EmberGen is a real-time volumetric fluid simulation tool that allows users to instantly simulate, render, and export flipbooks, image sequences, and VDB volumes. The toolkit lets you simulate anything from fire and smoke, to explosions and magic wisps. The team promises "the creative freedom to iterate on your simulations in a few milliseconds instead of hours."
Please note that as of this moment EmberGen does not export volumetric data to game engines.
"We haven't released an update for EmberGen since December due to just how much the beta changes the fundamental features of EmberGen. The beta is built around our brand new node graph system that allows you to easily construct procedural simulations in seconds," wrote the team.
New features:
- Functional Node Graph
- Better simulations and rendering
- Looping simulation.
- Static meshes as emitters and colliders
- Colliders
- Cameras
- Color pickers
- Color gradients
- Curves for the timeline
- Autosaving/Recovery
- HiDPI support
- Prefers discrete graphics card over integrated ones
- Improved UI
