wondertouch provides particle effects solutions for the visual effects and motion graphics industries. We make special effects easy.

Faced with what could be dozens of shots to complete and an almost impossible schedule, visual effects artists are turning to particleIllusion for help when they need to make special effects ultra-fast.

It's particleIllusion's speed and ease of use that make it so attractive to artists working on film effects. particleIllusion's realtime rendering shows you what your changes will look like immediately.

More and more emphasis is being put on pre-visualization, where shots are used to determine camera angles, shot components, etc.

Adding more detail at this stage gives everybody a better idea of what the completed shot will look like, and using particleIllusion allows you to add that detail with little or no impact to the schedule.

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

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.

Since particleIllusion is a standalone application, you can use it with any video editing or compositing software in order to make special effects. Bring your movies or image sequences into particleIllusion, add the particle effects you want, 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.
