Thinkbox Software Releases Krakatoa C4D for MAXON CINEMA 4D

Los Angeles, CA (April 14, 2014) - Thinkbox Software today launched Krakatoa C4D, the first version of its high-volume particle renderer for MAXON CINEMA 4D, which is compatible with R14 and R15 running on OSX and Windows operating systems.Also available forAutodesk® Maya® and Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Krakatoa provides a powerful pipeline for quickly acquiring, caching, transforming, modifying, shading and rendering billions of particles.

Krakatoa C4D key features include:

Krakatoa C4D originated as an external effort by Ugly Kids artist Daniel Hennies, who collaborated with a developer to program a bridge to the stand-alone version of Krakatoa (SR) via the C++ API. Upon acquiring the code, Thinkbox refined the Krakatoa C4D feature set for off-the-shelf functionality. Hennies noted, “I was quite overwhelmed by Thinkbox’s positive response to what we created. The tremendous enthusiasm and dedication from Thinkbox was spectacular; the new plug-in will enhance the whole experience for CINEMA 4D users and enable particle enthusiasts to take final quality to a new level.”

“Artists have loved Krakatoa for years so we’re thrilled to extend its functionality to new animation software applications,” said Chris Bond, founder, Thinkbox Software. “CINEMA 4D has a storied history in motion graphics and is a rising star in the creation of feature film VFX; we’re excited to introduce ourselves to CINEMA 4D users and can’t wait to see how Krakatoa is leveraged by talent.”

“We recognize success for digital artists today depends on integrated solutions with the industry’s best tools,” said Harald Egel,“Krakatoa is widely recognized as a leader in robust volumetric particle manipulation and rendering. The availability of Krakatoa for CINEMA 4D brings profound artistic freedom to VFX creatives.”
