Do they provide a link to the SDK? If not, does someone know where you
can get a copy?

Cheers,

Hi All,
Well it is the end of the second week and no news for the new Realflow
plugin for XSI. I'm not surprised, but very disappointed.
I've been talking to Kim about Realflow's new mesh file format. (md file)
Of course, Realfllow doesn't come with this plugin, you have to write it
yourself. :(
Heres what the help file says:

Mesh secuence (.md): Meshes' sequence.
Rf provides an advanced feature oriented to resources optimization and
memory saving; .md file formats. This is a new exporting formats for meshes.
The user will be able to choose which particular information to keep from
the simulation (speed, density, pressure...) for shading purposes. An SDK is
available for this format, so anybody can create their own translator. This
is new format contains particle attributes mapped to the geometry´s vertex.
temperature
mass
pressure
density
viscosity
isolation
age
texture
neighbors
normal
force
velocity



I was wondering if anyone knows more about this or has written a plugin for
it? :) Because it would be so handy being able to shade meshes based on
this data.
But until now, its back to the old plugin.
For those interested, here is what im working on in my spare time using RF 4
and XSI 5. And my two year old laptop :)
