Margo Hoffer
Want to quickly add stunning particle effects to your next project? Particle Illusion is the choice for artists and editors looking to easily add photorealistic particle effects for motion graphics, VFX compositing elements, titles, lower thirds, and graphic backgrounds.
Particle Illusion is a powerful particle generator that gives users instant access to 3D particles. Available as a free standalone application. Quickly create photorealistic particle effects to use for motion graphics, visual effects, titles, and lower thirds.
Particle Type: A particle type is the collection of properties that determine how particles of this type look and behave. A particle type consists of an image (or images), a color gradient, and various properties such as velocity, size, weight, etc.
So an emitter is made up of particle types, and particle types are made from images, and particles are created by the emitter based on the properties of its particle types. In other words, an emitter creates particles which combine to form the visual effect.
So a super emitter is made up of free emitter types and free emitters are created by the super emitter based on the properties of its free emitter type. Each free emitter type consists of particle types, and particles are created by each free emitter based on the properties of its particle type. In other words, a super emitter creates free emitters, which in turn create particles which combine to form the visual effect.
These Emitter Library emitters are the starting point for building new particle effects: the first step in building an animation is to add one or more emitters from the Emitter Library to your project.
Background Image: When on the background will be an image instead of a solid color. Useful for some effects, especially if they get their colors from the source layer. (Particles can get their colors from source only in the plugin version). Note that selecting an emitter that gets its color from the source will use this image automatically for the particles regardless of the setting of this option.
Background Color: Although many particles look best when shown on a black background, some need a lighter color to display correctly (this is often indicated in the thumbnail image for the emitter with a grey or white background). Use this to set the background to any color.
Before looking at the parameters in the Controls View, remember from earlier that a regular emitter is made up of one or more particle types, and a super emitter is made up of one or more free emitter types, which in turn contain one or more particle types. This relationship is clearly seen in the Nodes View:
The parameters in this group allow you to adjust the noise field of each particle type individually. Remember that the base Turbulence Field settings are made in the Emitter Properties, and by default each particle type in the emitter will use the same settings.
You will have noticed that in the mini timeline there is a cyan line that draws from frame 1 to the CTI. This is the cache indicator. Particle Illusion will cache particle calculations which allows for better performance when scrubbing the timeline (under many circumstances). Note that it is not an image cache, so for projects with a large number of particles you may still not get smooth scrubbing.
Force objects apply an acceleration to any particles that enter their area, a bit like wind (or a magnet depending on the force type). Force objects can also provide the complex, organic movement of fluid dynamics to your project.
With Direction Variation set to the maximum (360 degrees), each cell will point in a random direction. Depending on the placement of the emitter, the Strength value, and a few other options (Strength Variation, the velocity of the particles, number of grid cells, etc.) you can get very complex, organic particle motion:
The motion becomes even more interesting if the emitter and particles move into different cells over time. For example animating the Position, Angle or Direction of the Force can result in very sophisticated particle motion.
First released in 2020, the free standalone edition includes most of the key features of the commercial plugin, supporting unlimited particles and emitters; layers, forces and deflectors; and integrated motion blur.
particleIllusion (pIllusion for short) is a stand-alone computer graphics application based on the particle system technique which allows users to create graphical animations, e.g. fire, explosions, smoke, fireworks, and various abstract visual effects.[1] The predecessor of pIllusion is Illusion 2 (19992001) which is licensed to Impulse Inc.[2] The chief programmer, Alan Lorence,[3] was in disagreement with Impulse Inc and formed another company by the name of Wondertouch. The upgraded version of Illusion has been rebranded and released as particleIllusion 3.0, which features new functions such as super emitter and force field.
The program works solely in two-dimensional space, but the random motion of particles may provide a virtually three-dimensional animation. pIllusion can be supported by OpenGL to accelerate the rendering speed which allows an accurate real-time preview with a proper video display card. Recently, pillusion has implemented a three-dimensional simulation function as of its recent free-to-download update.[4]

The plugin version gives users access to a more streamlined workflow that includes the ability to composite particle animations directly over source footage inside preferred host applications, track and mask with integrated Mocha, drive animations to music with the built-in Beat Reactor, and more.
Particle Illusion is an easy-to-use, powerful, high-end particle generator that gives editors and artists instant access to photorealistic particle effects for motion graphics, visual effects, titles, lower thirds, and background graphics. Available as a free standalone application, a paid premium filter, and as part of the Continuum suite of plug-ins, Particle Illusion is the choice anyone looking to quickly and easily add amazing particle effects to any image, animation or video.
Wondertouch particleIllusion is an amazingly cool and almost effortless special effects tool. particleIllusion is for anyone who needs explosions, muzzle flashes, fireworks, waterfalls, realistic effects or psychedelic trips without the drugs. Perhaps best of all, you might not even have to hire a dedicated animator, since you can probably be up and running in an hour.
Particle effects are special effects that work by animating small individual graphics into a larger effect. Snow is a good example: one flake is a particle and the complete effect combines these into a snowy New England scene. The snow can float or icily rain down, but a good particle effect will completely fool the viewer. Random, natural motion is the key to believable effects and good applications accomplish this with a minimum of hassle.
Throwing a visually stunning effect into your video is mind-numbingly easy, but of course the real test is when you start performing more complicated effects shots. Complex projects, with a couple of particle generators and some multi-point animated blockers, require more processing power. The application will take advantage of OpenGL hardware on your display card when available. Unfortunately, consumer display cards have a rather variable implementation of the OpenGL standard. Even low-end professional cards worked well, however. We found that about 70% of the decent consumer 3D display cards in our office worked. One computer crashed violently, however, even in software-only mode. Fortunately, you can download a trial version of the application before you buy to test for these types of problems.
