These kind of cool special effects have previously been almost impossible to do on your everyday PC. 3D artists will know that rendering special effects such as a cloud of smoke or a flickering flame in your scene can take a long time. But with particleIllusion, you can add multiple effects in seconds and animate them in real time! It would be simplifying things far too much to say that
particleIllusion is a particle effects system. It wouldn't be enough to
say that it is real time special effects animation software. In fact,
particleIllusion is so powerful, and can be used for so many things in
so many ways that it really is difficult to pigeon-hole into any one category.
For our money, it stands out as one of the most unique (and must-have)
pieces of software ever! Because particleIllusion doesn't actually work in 3D, it doesn't need to deal with the huge rendering tasks other 3D programs have to cope with. You can add emitters on multiple layers, and define deflectors and blockers to make your effects integrate and react in a 3D environment (more about those later!)... Water can realistically pour over and bounce off surfaces or pour from a bottle; fireworks can appear behind buildings. You can import existing animations and add your special effects, preserving all the quality (and even sound!) in the original footage. But you could just as easily import a static image and add animated effects! Imagine bringing a photograph to life! You can animate the water on a postcard of Niagra Falls! Or add flickering flames to a fireside scene... particleIllusion really offers an almost endless list of possibilities for your creative talents and lends itself to any project. particleIllusion will also create alpha channel
images for easy compositing in other applications. This means you can
use it with absolute precision with a range of software including paint
programs, video editing suites, web animation packages, 3D applications
etc. Let us try to tell you why in the next few pages of this site, and give you an insight into the huge range of possibilities particleIllusion has to offer. The key to particleIllusion is experimentation, and trust us, it is something you will never tire of as you invent new and more amazing ways of using the software.
