It took me a while to warm to this new, spectacular piece of fluid simulation software and the excellent resources/info from ExoticMatter and Igor Zanic has been invaluble to the learning curve. I highly recommend checking it all out.
I dont think it replaces Realflow completly - its simply another solution and way of working when solving fluid effects. Heres a large body of water simulation rendered with Krakatoa.

Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
