Billabong, I know you do. Anyone else? I've been working with Fume, Pflow and Krakatoa over the last couple of months. Just wondering if you can recommend good discussion areas for this stuff. I've been catching up on the 207-page thread on CGT, and have been through all the tutorials a person can find. Now I'm perusing blogs for tech discussions and scripts to see what's out there.

My latest challenge has been to create a massive explosion for a certain shot and hitting my ram ceiling before I can even sneeze. Fun stuff.

I love how quick Fume is at producing great effects. I'm not as crazy about Krakatoa, especially since getting past the infamous grainy look requires a truckload of partitions and particles. But I do like the final fluid look it gives.

I'm not trying to start an FX section here or anything. That industry has web presence elsewhere. Just trying to connect local dots, is all.

Yeah it's amazing how easy it is to create interesting animations with animated geometry, or by simply animating geometry inside fume smoke to stir it up. Good job on those! Recently I had to set 8 people on fire. That was a fun one.
