wondertouch, headquartered in St. Louis, Mo., is an award-winning software developer specializing in particle effects for the visual effects industry.
We create fire effect animation, explosions,water, sparkles, disintegrating humans and hundreds upon hundreds of animation effects which can easily be manipulated and changed.
If you think that particle systems are too complicated to use or are too slow, then you must not be using particleIllusion.
particleIllusion is the renowned standalone particle effects application from Wondertouch that is easy to use, fast, and powerful.
Use it to quickly add amazing particle effects such as smoke, explosion, and fire effect animation to any image, animation or video.
Since its release in 1998, particleIllusion has been used in countless TV commercials and shows, including Enterprise, Star Trek Voyager, Max Steel, and That 70's Show to name a few.
Today's films are loaded with post-production effects work, often times on very tight schedules.
particleIllusion is so fast and easy to use that it's the tool of choice when the deadline looms and a shot needs some last-minute tweaks (more smoke, a few sparks, a fire effect, an extra layer of snowflakes, etc).
particleIllusion has been used in many feature films including: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Final Destination II, Just Married, Biker Boyz, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Ghost Ship, Hart's War, Rollerball, Behind Enemy Lines, The Core, The Italian Job, and Torque.
Even when it won't be used in the final version of a shot, particleIllusion is the ultimate high speed particle tool for pre-viz.
Its speed allows for multiple iterations in minutes, allowing the client to direct the performance of explosions, fire effect animation,
smoke and other effects.
"Integrating particleIllusion into the pipeline as our
primary particle effects tool has been critical to the
creative process. Having worked with the software on several
film projects, its ease-of-use, reliability and access
to real-time viewing and lightning fast renders allow us
to deliver stunning imagery and successfully improve the
turnaround time of our shots."
