wondertouch brings you particleIllusion, the renowned standalone application that allows you to quickly and easily create amazing effects: explosions, smoke, fire, sparkles, motion graphics, firework special effects, backgrounds, space effects, creatures, and 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.

particleIllusion's interface has been highly praised as easy to learn, work with, and master.

Since particleIllusion is a standalone application, you can use it with any video editing or compositing software. Bring your movies or image sequences into particleIllusion, add the particle effects you want such as firework special effects, then save the output movie or image sequence. You can also save just the particles with an alpha channel (transparency) so the rendered output can be loaded back into your compositing software.

From feature film to home video, Adding effects to existing footage (movies or images) is the most common use of particleIllusion. Load your footage, select effects from the existing libraries of over 1500 emitters, adjust any parameters to customize (if needed), then render.

If you do motion graphics work, particleIllusion is an amazing source of artistic elements for your compositions. There are literally hundreds of different abstract emitters that you can combine in countless ways, and you can always customize the effects in any way needed, for an endless supply of elements. Explosions, water, smoke, and firework special effects just to name a few have never been easier or as time effective to create as with particleIllusion.
