Re: Some news from Siggraph

On Area there is a video on "Behind the curtain of RD". There you can see a little bit about bifrost! The interface looks a bit like ICE. It is called "Open Procedural FX Framework". Maybe this is what the Maya FX Team is working on!

Hi Nick3d, is it a professional work or is it a personal / educational project? Timeframe? Is it photo real or stylized? All the question help you to decide for the right direction to go!

Re: Implosia FX - new ICE based shatter
