What is FxStudio?
FxStudio is a high-performance visual effects engine. The system is comprised of four major components, FxStudio Designer, Processor, Tunnel and Runtime. FxStudio designer is a world-class, artist friendly authoring environment used to define the effect sequences. The Tunnel is a TCP connection that provides a communication channel between Designer and the Runtime. The Runtime is the heart of the sequencing engine and is integrated into the running game. FxStudio Processor packs effects into highly optimized runtime ready effect banks.
