particleIllusion
Illusion is a particle effects system and compositing
tool with a difference: it's fast, easy, and fun! Illusion is easy
to use because you work in 2D -- its WYSIWYG display shows you what
is going on at all stages of your work. Adding an effect can be
as simple as selecting the effect you want from one of Illusion's
emitter libraries and placing it on the stage. You want to change
the effect somewhat? No problem! Most of the emitter's properties
are available from the main workspace -- change the setting and
see the results in realtime. Need to change a more low-level property?
The properties dialog for the emitter allows access to ALL properties
of the effect, and still provides a realtime preview.
