Hi,

im starting to learn how hybrido works in rf5, and i was wondering how mist, foam and splash are rendered with maxwell. Does anyone know? i´ve know krakatoa can render individual particles but i cant imagine how maxwell could do that.

Technically, Maxwell can render the particles as instanced geometry through a plugin, but I wouldn't recommend that for large particle counts. Actually, the mist files created by RF5 are not the normal particle BIN files, so I don't know of any way for Maxwell to read them yet. Of course splash and foam can be meshed and rendered.
