particleIllusion is a standalone application that allows you to quickly and easily create amazing effects:
explosion animation, smoke, fire, sparkles, abstract artistic effects -- literally hundreds of different types of effects.
We've done our best to create an interface that will be easy for an artist to use, yet not be so "artistic" that it is completely different from anything you've seen before. Our customers seem to feel that we've gotten it right.

Out-of-the-Box Effects
One of the great strengths of particleIllusion is the huge library of effects that is included. Over 1500 particle emitters ("effects") such as explosion animation are currently available, with a new free library released every month.

particleIllusion SE is the low-cost introductory version of particleIllusion. It uses an older version of our particle engine, but can still create a huge number of effects.
What types of effects are included? Too many to list, and many that would be nearly impossible to describe with words, but a few include: explosion animation, fire, smoke, fog, waterfalls, sparks, sparkles, fireworks, rain, snow, puddle splashes, motion graphics backgrounds, magic effects, space warps, abstract lights, lava, flocks of birds, geometric shapes, aurora, bubbles, waves, rainbows, light beams -- dozens of different types, and hundreds of variations.
This large (and ever-growing) library of effects allows you to create immediately, with no learning curve and almost no effort. You can also customize these effects to create subtle variations or entirely new effects, then save your new presets.
