Instant particle magic. Particle Illusion Pro is a powerful particle generator that gives users instant access to 3D particles. Quickly create photorealistic particle effects to use for motion graphics, visual effects, titles, and lower thirds. Available as a fully functional standalone application and as a plugin part of the Continuum suite of effects.
Fluid Dynamics
Fluid Dynamics allows you to transform any existing emitter into a complex animation that flows and swirls, just like in the real world, or to create your own custom animation. It includes more than 20 new presets designed by professionals. Work with emitters, forces, and deflectors in 3D, using the integrated camera to navigate through generated particle fields. Utilize position, pan, and orbit camera modes for navigation. Includes depth of field and motion blur features.
Forces and Deflectors
Force objects enable the addition of force fields to create complex, realistic particle movements, ranging from chaotic swirls to controlled flows, and even fluid dynamics. Deflector objects simplify the simulation of particles interacting with logos or other graphics, enabling them to bounce or interact seamlessly. Connect your particles together with lines! Join particles to parent emitters, their birth positions, or even to other particles to create fresh, new geometric mograph looks. Turbulence varies the position and size of particles through auto-evolving, organic noise fields. Think of subtle wave-like motion, wild particle scatters, or anything in between.
Easy Preset-Driven Workflow
Particle Illusion comes with thousands of preset emitters (via a separate, free installer). An integrated search makes it easy to zero in on the effect you’re looking for, and the live preview lets you click and drag to see how it will move. Use as-is or adjust the position, shape, life, number, size, etc., by scrubbing values in the control panel. You can also create new presets by saving any adjusted emitter back into your custom emitter library. Particle Illusion lets you create extremely complex effects, but the Node View makes it easier than ever to work with and customize them. Simply select an emitter or particle node to see the corresponding parameters displayed in the Controls View.
