According to rumors, 3DAliens is working on adding Thinkbox “PRT” format export capabilities to its Glu3d GPU fluid dynamics software. This will allow Glu3D GPU to use the PRT format for rendering with Krakatoa and also benefit from Frost meshing. More information on Glu3D GPU can be found at 3DAliens.

just saw the introduction video on their site and it don’t impress me, at all!
i’ve used glue3d five years ago, and ; for a simple cube and a box simulation, (and a gpu in charge), it is as slow has it was….5years ago !
i still wait the new stuff, guys !
depressing….

The new GPU versions is many many times faster then everything that glu ever had. Also new features are added like animatable source triggers, etc. You should give it a shot again. It’s not realflow or naiad by far but it’s a solver inside of max!

Really, how is the GPU slow? The intro video was created on a QuadroFX 1700 graphics card that was never “Cuda” enabled.

A card that was over 5 years old and was still able to get faster results than the original glu solver.

Adding PRT was a good move.

IMO Max, Maya, and Softimage should natively support the OPEN format of PRT!
