particleIllusion 3.0: special effects software offering text effects, explosion effects and more

wondertouch develops acclaimed computer special effects and special video effects programs

Make special effects for film and television such as fire effects, smoke effects, firework effects and more

wondertouch is an award-winning software developer specializing in particle effects for the visual effects industry.

The company's flagship product particleIllusion, a sprite-based particle effects application based on open gl software, is designed to provide the most comprehensive effects creation tool and efficient workflow.

Considered one of the most popular solutions for effects creation, particleIllusion is now used worldwide by creative professionals working in film post-production and pre-visualization, standard and HD video, commercial broadcast, motion graphics and game content creation.

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

particleIllusion uses Open GL software for real-time (or near real-time) previews of all effects, and ultra-fast rendering. Render times are always in Frames per second, not seconds (or minutes, or hours) per frame.

Powerful: The number of parameters that you can change, coupled with some of the advanced features such as "Super Emitters" (particle emitters that create other particle emitters automatically), allow some of the most complex and realistic effects available anywhere.

interface based on open gl software specifications

One of the great strengths of particleIllusion is the huge library of effects that is included. Over 1500 particle emitters ("effects") are currently available, with a new free library released every month.
Open GL software (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 3D and 2D computer graphics. Open GL software hides the complexities of interfacing with different 3D accelerators by presenting the programmer with a single, uniform API.
Open GL software accepts primitives such as points, lines and polygons, and converts them into pixels.
