Instant Particle Magic
Particle Illusion Pro is a powerful particle generator that gives users instant access to 3D particles. Quickly create photorealistic particle effects to use for motion graphics, visual effects, titles, and lower thirds. Available as a fully functional standalone application and as a plugin part of the Continuum suite of effects.

Particle Trails and Particle Lines Enhancements
New “lines” option adds trails, fading, and thickness variation to particle simulations.
Deflector and Force Improvements
3D Deflectors with rotation/depth, improved reliability, and Forces with “Direction Turbulence” for organic particle motion.
3D Models as Emitters
Import C4D/OBJ files as emitters with options like model wireframe drawing, including models and presets for innovative looks and streamlined object manipulation on stage.
Updated Gradient Editor and Gradient Presets
Enhanced gradient editor with flip, space actions, undo/redo, random generator, plus new color and alpha presets for fun particle workflows.
Easier to Use
New and easy workflow groups Controls View parameters into labeled sections, with “de-emphasis” dimming irrelevant ones for focused workflow.
3D Widgets
3D widgets now simplify interaction with emitters and objects in 3D environments.
New
Particle Trails and Lines Enhancements
Draw particle trails as a new “lines” option, adding new life to almost any particle simulation! Other new line features allow you to fade the ends, vary thickness with particle size, and more.
New
Updated Gradient Editor and Presets
The gradient editor has been greatly improved, with new “flip” and “space” actions, full undo/redo, even a random gradient generator! Add to that new color and alpha gradient presets, and your particle color workflow just got a whole lot more fun!
New
Deflector and Force Improvements
Deflectors and Forces are important particle “influencers”, and they’ve both gotten updates in 2023.5:
Deflectors are now 3D – rotate them, set their depth, and animate in 3D space!
Improved reliability of Deflectors: no more “leaking” at the corners, or unexpectedly wild bounces!
Forces now include “Direction Turbulence”, which allows you to add organic motion to your particles even without fluid dynamics!
New
Easier to Use
The Controls View (parameter list) has been redesigned, with related parameters grouped together in labeled sections. Plus version 2023 introduces parameter “de-emphasis”, which causes parameters that have no effect on the output to dim, helping you to focus on what’s important!
New
3D Models as Emitters
Working with emitters and other objects in 3D has just become easier with 3D widgets.
