Besides all that, your plugin looks great man!!!
Never used krakatoa myself, but I've seen what it can do. How does it
compare to exocortex's fury?

Here is a video of a plugin I started working on for
Softimage. I’m integrating KrakatoaSR as a renderer into
Softimage:

Please excuse the programmer art. I don’t actually know how to
make anything look good with Krakatoa yet.
Features So Far:
- Integrated as a renderer plug-in using
KrakatoaSR’s C++ API
- Works with ICE driven point clouds
- All Krakatoa supported channels are mapped and
pulled from ice if they exist (Emission, Absorption, etc)
- All parameters in KrakatoaSR exposed in the
renderer options
- Region render support
- Scene lights can be restricted with a group
- Occlusion mesh support (also through a group)
- Multi-channel EXR output supported.
Now for a real question. While integrating the ICE channel
support I noticed that even if I put a Set Data for an
attribute like PointNormal, ICE will still optimize it away
unless it is being directly used for display or simulation.
This seems a tad overly aggressive. My current work around is
to drop a log values before the set data and turn off the
logging which forces the channel into existence. Please tell
there is some other easier way to force a channel to not be
optimized away? Or some way from C++ to force the evaluation
of the ICEAttribute. I have to imagine other renderers would
have similar problems with channels that aren’t needed for
viewport display or simulation but are needed for rendering.
Thanks,
