Otoy and JangaFX have announced the first public beta of EmberGenFX, a set of real-time GPU simulation tools for creating fire, volumetrics, smoke, and particles.

New features in this release include procedural real-time particle and fluid simulations; the ability to export simulations as VDB files for use in OctaneRender DCC integrations; support for VDB, PNG, TGA and EXR exports for image sequences and volumes; and full interactive real-time ray-marched volumes in the EmbergenFX viewport during simulation and animation key-framing.

Readers may remember that JangaFX announced its collaboration with OTOY in April this year to create a separate version of its real-time volumetric effect tools EmberGen for Octane. This is the first public release following that announcement and it grants a full commercial license of EmberGenFX standalone to all OctaneRender 2020 subscribers during the public beta.

Once the release comes out of beta, the announcement suggests that the full EmberGenFX suite will attract an upgraded subscription. Read the news in full on the Otoy forum.
