The RFRK for Sofimage is available for Windows and Linux 64 bit operating systems. The installation process itself is easy and can be finished within a few minutes. The different RFRK distributions can be downloaded from Next Limit's Customer Gateway. If you do not have an account yet, please contact Next Limit for registration and more information. Please also visit RealFlow's website periodically for information about updates and new versions.

Windows 64 bit

The RFRK for Softimage is provided as a so-called "Add-on". In Softimage, an Add-on is a particular group of files to enhance the program's functionality. Softimage already ships with some "Add-ons", for example the Syflex tool and some SDK examples. Each "Add-on" has its own directory directly inside the "Add-ons" folder. Please note that it is often necessary to restart Softimage to make the newly-installed "Add-on" visible and useable.

Under Windows you simply have to drag the "RFRK Add-on" to the Softimage window and drop it in. The demo license file and the documentation will be installed here:

C:\Users\user_name\Autodesk\softimage_version\Addons\nl_renderkit2014

Linux 64 bit

Softimage for Linux has a menu command to install "Add-ons". Please select

 File > Add-On > Install

and choose the "RFRK Add-on". If you cannot use the "Add-on", please restart Softimage. The demo license file and the documentation can be found under:

/home/usr/Softimage/softimage_version/Addons/nl_renderkit2014
