This page provides information on the Export PRT Particles function.
Using this function you can convert and export the Phoenix FD particles (Foam, Splash and Drag, etc.) from already simulated *.aur cache files, into Krakatoa's *.prt format. The right-click option is only available on the Fire Smoke Simulator and the Liquid Simulator. Phoenix can also load and render .prt files using the PRT Reader helper object.
