Some off-forum AURA announcement

[Da_elf]

great to hear it will be out soon. it looks fantastic. ive got a few scenes id love to test it on. Have you guys tried any explosion tests?

[percydaman]

theres a bit of an explosion test on the example page, though not a real BIG type of explosion. Curious if it will be able to simulate more pyroclastic type of smoke, more necessary for the uber cool explosions.

Looks very convincing guys. Considering how good it looks with basic primitives it will be very interesting to see in a real scene. Mmmm, like in a room being on fire etc.

So, very impressive work. you should be proud

I cant wait to get my hands on a beta version of aura.. I’ve really been considering buying Phoenix .. But as it has poor compatibility with vray and other render plug-ins and there isn’t any max 6 version ...

But aura looks mad... Can’t wait... you guys are awesome

Is there any news on the development of aura? because they said that a public beta could have been released a month ago, so I quess your a little late, but is there any info on the public beta? Would love to get to test it before going away for 6 months..

[percydaman]

the beta test has been going on for awhile now. Email aura@chaosgroup.com and ask to be part of the beta. It requires signing of an NDA, but haven't heard of anyone being turned down.
