wondertouch has been producing
particle effects tools since 1999. Our goal has always been to make
great effects easy to create for anybody at almost any experience
level.
The company's flagship product particleIllusion, a sprite-based particle effects application, is designed to provide efficient workflow and the
most comprehensive effects around such as explosions, smoke, water, and fire special effects.
Small budgets, incredibly short production schedules, and frequent last-minute changes -- all are part of producing television commercials, whether local, regional, or national.
Having access to a wide variety of preset effects takes some of the pressure off -- select a library emitter and drop it into the project, make a few adjustments (if desired) and you're done!
There are hundreds of preset special effects - fire, explosions, sparkles, fireworks just to name a few) to add to your project with only a click or two of the mouse ? does it get easier than that?
"Using particleIllusion as our core particle emission
tool allows us to go beyond what is available in any other
desktop toolset. For our latest project for Birkenstock
USA particleIllusion's proven effectiveness allowed us
to create additional and ultimately controllable rain where
on-set physical effects fell short of the desired result.
We also rely on particleIllusion's capabilities for project
previsualization. In many cases, we've built previs effects
for wisps of smoke or rain and even snow to find that the
final effect was only mildly modified from our previsualization.
And when changes are necessary, particleIllusion uses full
OpenGL to rip through even the most dense compilations
in minutes, not hours like other solutions.

Out-of-the-Box Effects
One of the great strengths of particleIllusion is the huge library of special effects (fire, smoke, water, explosions, etc.) that is included. Over 1400 particle emitters ("effects") are currently available, with a new free library released every month.
Works with All Video Applications
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, 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.
