Released a new commercial plug-in – Ky_Trail Pro version 1.0 for 3ds Max 9 and above, based on the kernel of popular plug-in Ky_Trail.

The plug-in is designed for rendering images of traces behind a moving objects in 3D-space (e.g. jet exhaust, tracer shots, etc.).

In the new version:
  • The first commercial version of the plug-in (based on the kernel Ky_Trail 4.1).
  • Completely reworked rendering algorithm traces. Changed architecture. Performed optimization. Added new features.
  • Added multi-threading support for rendering trails.
  • Significantly increased performance when using particle systems (including Particle Flow) as emitters.
  • Added a new type of emitters - Vertex Emitter. Allows you to build trails for all or only selected vertices of geometric objects.
  • Added advanced control of own time of trails. Allows you to animate the trails regardless of the scene time.
  • Added parameters which change the life duration of the trail particles, depending on the properties of the emitters.
  • Added new types of particles.
  • Added ability to independent control of change the parameters of the trail particles by time.
  • Added parameters which change the size of the trail particles, depending on the properties of the emitters.
  • Added a new model for describing the color of the trail particles.
  • Added ability to override the color of the trail particles, depending on the properties of the emitters.
  • Added parameters which change the intensity of the trail particles, depending on the properties of the emitters.
  • Improved control of scattering of the trail particles.
  • Added parameters to control of the trail warping.
  • Added setting of inertia of the trail particles.
  • Added a new blending mode.
  • Added support for RGBA 32-bit Floating-point Frame Buffer.
