It allows you to swiftly create photorealistic particle effects for motion graphics, visual effects, titles, and lower thirds. This versatile tool is available as a fully functional standalone application and as a plugin within the Continuum suite of effects. This software has features that make it an essential tool for any creative professional.

Particle Trails and Particle Lines Enhancements

The new lines option introduces trails, fading, and thickness variation to particle simulations. This enhancement provides more depth and realism to your particle effects, allowing for a broader range of creative possibilities.

Deflector and Force Improvements

It has 3D deflectors that include rotation and depth, offering improved reliability. The Forces feature now includes “Direction Turbulence” for creating organic particle motion. These improvements enhance the control and precision you have over your particle effects.

3D Models as Emitters

A groundbreaking feature of this tool is the ability to import C4D/OBJ files as emitters. This includes options like model wireframe drawing, providing a unique and innovative way to manipulate objects on the stage.

Updated Gradient Editor and Gradient Presets

The gradient editor has been enhanced with features such as flip, space actions, undo/redo, and a random generator. Adding color and alpha presets further streamlines your particle workflows, making achieving the desired visual effects more accessible.

Easier to Use

This introduces a new intuitive workflow that groups control view parameters into labeled sections. This organized layout, coupled with “de-emphasis” on irrelevant parameters, enhances your focus and makes the application even more user-friendly.

3D Widgets

Including 3D widgets simplifies interaction with emitters and objects in 3D environments. This feature facilitates a more immersive and hands-on approach to designing particle effects.
