Krakatoa used in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
  • I left Frantic in early 2005, but Krakatoa kept evolving under Mark Wiebe and others.
  • It was eventually ported from C# to C++ and integrated more deeply into 3ds Max and later Maya.
  • Public releases followed around 2007 and 2008.
  • Krakatoa went on to be used in many major productions, including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and Avatar.
