Instant Special Effects
Don’t have the funds, time or licence to blow up a building for your short movie? No problem. Do it in real-time with Illusion! Easily create 'Armageddon' style fireballs… swirling sandstorms… muzzle flashes in a gunfight… rain and thunder storms… gaseous clouds in outer space… leaves drifting to the ground in an autumn scene… and anything else your imagination can come up with! No need to build your meteor model, design
specialised textures and then render each frame just to check if it works…
in Illusion, everything is rendered in real time allowing you to instantly
see how it works within your scene... and if it needs repositioning or
retiming, move along the timeline, grab the emitter it with the mouse
pointer, move it to it's new position onscreen...and instantly run the
whole animation again! As well as allowing you to easily add real time special effects to your video footage, you can easily use Illusion to produce stunning titles and animated text into your video. Not only that, but Illusion can create absolutely incredible transitions, fades and wipes to use between scenes. Because Illusion will import and export in the industry standard .AVI format, you can seamlessly edit your footage in Illusion and drop it back into your preferred video editing software without having to do any messy file conversions. It will even retain the soundtrack if you wish. You can easily create complex transitions
that bounce around the screen, explode, or do anything else your heart
desires. Remember that you can use animations as emitters, create multiple
layers with alpha masks, transparencies and multiple effects to achieve
virtually any of the effects or transitions you might have seen on TV
- and a lot more you haven't seen anywhere! You'll soon find yourself shooting footage just so you can play with it in pIllusion... live out all your childhood fantasies! We did, of course, have to stage and shoot a vicious broom-stick fight in the office as soon as we got Illusion so we could turn it into our very own light-sabre duel! Indeed, pIllusion has already been used in plenty of films and tv shows. You can currently see it in use in the new StarShip Troopers Chronicles, and plenty of other Sci-Fi series, too, including episodes of Star Trek Voyager and Lexx. (Impulse' site tells you in more detail where you can see pIllusion in action on TV, with clips you can download) Imagine... you could be adding broadcast quality special effects to your own home videos within minutes! Hell, make your own Star Wars movie. Make Armaggedon or Independence Day happen in your street. Get creative, go nuts! We will soon be publishing example video footage we have produced using particleIllusion, as well as examples of transitions, titllng and text effects. We will also be adding more Free Resources for download - ready-to-use projects containing transitions and text effects, as well as new emitter shapes and effects libraries and tutorials on using particleIllusion for video editing. |
