JangaFX is making its software available free for six months to anyone working in game development or visual effects who has recently been laid off.
Aritsts who are between jobs can email the company to receive a temporary license of smoke and fire simulator EmberGen, liquid simulator LiquiGen and terrain generator GeoGen.
Get JangaFX’s Elemental Suite tools free for six months while you polish your portfolio
JangaFX has previously made its tools available free to artists who have been made redundant, but sadly, the past few months have been unusually tough, particularly in the visual effects industry, where there have been a number of high-profile studio closures.
However, being between jobs does at least give you some time to work on a killer demo reel, which is why JangaFX is providing a six-month license of its tools for use in portfolio work.
Anyone affected can email Janga FX at the address in the tweet embedded above to get access to its Elemental Suite tools: real-time smoke and fire simulator EmberGen, plus LiquiGen and GeoGen, its in-development liquid simulator and terrain- and planet-generation tool.
The applications are compatible with Windows 10+ or Linux, and have reasonable minimum hardware requirements: the better your GPU, the better they will perform, essentially.
