EmberGen is a software that has revolutionized the creation of real-time visual effects, especially in the world of video game development and special effects. This volumetric fluid simulator, created by JangaFX, has been accessible to the public since 2020 and was officially released in 2023.
EmberGen 2.0 New Features
EmberGen 2.0 will bring significant improvements in performance and simulation capabilities, including:
- Sparse Simulation System: Memory optimization, focusing the simulation only on active areas.
- Improved GPU Particle System: Ability to simulate over 500 million particles on 24GB graphics cards.
- Retouchable and Cached Simulations: Possibility to rewind, fast-forward, and adjust the speed of simulations.
Improvements in Rendering and Integration with Other Programs
Rendering in EmberGen 2.0 will be improved with a new ray tracer, allowing for more precise shadows on 3D models and better visual quality thanks to the use of HDR maps for indirect lighting.
Compatibility and New Features
The new version of EmberGen will also include support for macOS, with a version compatible with Apple Silicon, and the ability to import and export data in USD format. Additionally, new features will be added, such as granular fluid simulation.
“EmberGen 2.0 will transform the way visual effects artists work, with more powerful tools and greater flexibility.”
