particleIllusion for Adobe After Effects

"ParticleIllusion is the ultimate 2D particle generation system. In power, depth, and performance, it just can't be matched."

"Integrating particleIllusion into the pipeline as our primary particle effects tool has been critical to the creative process. Having worked with the software on several film projects, its ease of use, reliability, and access to real time viewing and lightning-fast renders allow us to deliver stunning imagery and successfully improve the turnaround time of our shots."

"ParticleIllusion offers unparalleled visual flexibility and is an ideal tool for fast-paced production environments. One of particleIllusion's main workflow benefits is that it permits various production team members such as VFX artists, art directors, or production leads to track the visual progression of a shot to gain immediate feedback about how the finished effect will look, not only in terms of aesthetics, but with regards to motion flow, etc. With this information we can decide on-the-fly what areas need more work, or at least have an indication about how we will need to solve an effect."

"A large part of our work for science fiction television involves the creation of various nebulae, spatial distortions, and exotic weaponry. However, during production on a recent Nokia commercial we used it to quickly develop several different looks for a flashing psychedelic disco dance floor. I had become used to seeing particleIllusion used for organic effects and volumetric renderings, but it was great to see it used successfully for something so completely different from my expectations."

"...the wondertouch team have done an excellent job of creating a novice-friendly user interface and workflow for their powerful flagship app."

"Using particleIllusion allows us to consistently deliver incredible gaming graphics and interactive experiences on many of our most popular entertainment products. ParticleIllusion's graphical user interface is so user-friendly, that we made its workflow the basis for creating our in-house runtime particle tool. It is one tool that I can't do without when developing the art direction for a game."

"Now that even conservative 2D Mac artists are quickly gaining ground on the 3D world, many designers are looking for a tool that will set them apart from the rest of the crowd. The additional features provided in wondertouch's recently released particleIllusion 3.0 for Mac OS X may prove to be an affordable way for artists to quickly introduce complex particle animations into any composition."

"ParticleIllusion's speed, its extensive library of presets, and its overall versatility initially attracted me to the software. Using particleIllusion exclusively on the Jumbotron presentation allowed me to select from a wide variety of emitters so that I could create approximately 70 effects – over 40 of them, including rendering time – in one day."

“particleIllusion for After Effects is the particles solution we've been waiting for. We are huge fans of the incredible ease of use and high-quality output that wondertouch products have delivered for years. Now, we get all those benefits in a more streamlined workflow that maximizes our creativity while minimizing our support costs. ParticleIllusion for After Effects is the right product at just the right time.”

"Having the software on the same workstation as our HD graphics/finishing station allowed us to quickly pre-visualize effects and speed up our workflow. ParticleIllusion fills a gap that our other software packages do not provide."
