This is the last update for EmberGen 1.0, with all focus now moving to EmberGen 2.0.
JangaFX
JangaFX has officially concluded updates to the EmberGen 1.0 series, its flagship software for real-time, high-quality volumetric simulations, originally released in 2019.
Over the years, EmberGen 1.0 saw consistent and substantial improvements. However, the development team eventually recognized that the original architecture limited their ability to expand upon the technology and push the boundaries of real-time simulation. To address this, JangaFX has spent the past three years developing EmberGen 2.0, a complete rewrite built from the ground up. According to the team, the core architecture is now largely complete, and current efforts are focused on tooling, improving usability, and achieving feature parity with EmberGen 1.0.
This year, JangaFX has ambitious plans for LiquiGen, GeoGen, and mysterious IlluGen, a new addition to the product lineup. EmberGen 1.2.3 is primarily a bugfix release, and you can view the full changelog and track the ongoing development of JangaFX tools here.
JangaFX is also offering 6 months of free access to support artists recently laid off from the games or film industry, helping them build or update their portfolios. If you're interested, you can contact them here.
