This entire collection really seems to be a work of art as well as heart. Their 'Hearts' collection is a tasteful grouping of growing, glowing and smoothly flowing hearts of different types and colors, which will be absolutely perfect for the wedding videographer or romantic film production. The third collection is significantly different from any collection I have seen wondertouch produce. The Pyro 2 collection like all the particleIllusion collections can easily be placed and positioned upon background stills or videos.īackground photos supplied by Randy Siegel. Divided into 3 pre-set folder, rising fire bursts decaying over time, rising explosion clouds similar to nuclear explosions, and plumes of blast matter and muzzle blasts from machine guns and single flashes are its priority and are also presented with a great deal of realism.

The Pyro 2 collection is similar but is based more upon explosive aftermath. Their realism, from beginning to end, can be viewed on the wondertouch website. All you need when using any of these emitters are the foley effects to add to the realism.įrom the Pyro 1 collection, no two emitters are alike. Categorized by their high energy, these emitters produce some genuinely organic and realistic effects. It's not that you will have to adjust any of these but you easily can if needed. Customization in regard to placement, angles, emission range, velocity, size variations, emitter life and too many more parameters to mention is very easy to attain. Each is highly customizable to suit any project where effects of this type would enhance one's project. Some of the blasts you might find are single explosions while others are multiple bursts and compound explosions of fire, smoke and carnage.
#PARTICLES ILLUSION FULL#
It seems like most movies today are full of car crashes, planes exploding, propane tanks blowing up and Die Hard sequels. Pyro 1 is the explosive collection divided into 4 folders of emitter presets. And yet, the Pyro 1 and 2 collections are significantly different from each other. Pyro 1 and Pyro 2 each focuses on a myriad number of explosions, blasts, muzzle flashes, and sunburst effects that might take hours to create yourself. With this offering, two of the collections center on fiery effects of all kinds.
#PARTICLES ILLUSION PRO#
Similar to previous Pro designed collections, each of these 3 new offerings follows a given theme and includes 30 very unique emitters for each set. Keep in mind that in order to take advantage of these Pro Emitters one must have particleillusion already installed.
#PARTICLES ILLUSION PROFESSIONAL#
While free libraries of particle emitters come out each month for downloading from the wondertouch website, wondertouch has now released their 3rd collection of particle emitters created by their own professional artists. Though wondertouch does have a particle emitter collection for Motion, the Pro Emitters reviewed here do not themselves work in Motion.


It's capabilities are truly beyond anything Motion's particle system can create. Actually, particleIllusion is more powerful than Motion's particle emitters (though not 3D) as well as allowing for far more complex and realistic effects. (Yes, I know that, for the English experts, that the names 'wondertouch' and 'particleIllusion' should be capitalized, however, the company prefers it to be spelt with lower case letters.) For those who find themselves spending endless hours creating special effects in Motion utilizing the particle generators to create flowing water, lower thirds, dynamic texts, animated backgrounds and FX of all kinds, look towards particle illusion to enable you to cut your editing bay time by half or more. There's little questioning thrown my way as to whether I have been a fan of wondertouch's particleIllusion or their Pro Emitter Libraries. $39.00 each collection or $90.00 for the 3 sets.
