Digital content creators working on Apple’s Mac OS X platform now have access to new versions for wondertouch’s particleIllusion 3.0 and particleIllusion SE line of product offerings. The updates to particleIllusion 3.0, wondertouch’s industry standard, standalone particle effects application, and particleIllusion SE, the company’s introductory version, are designed to give users more ways to quickly and easily create complex effects including explosions, smoke, fire, sparkles, motion graphics backgrounds, space effects, creatures and abstract artistic effects. Current wondertouch customers can take advantage of these changes and enhancements free of charge.
According to wondertouch president Alan Lorence, today’s updated versions provide particleIllusion users on the Mac platform access to the same feature enhancements already updated in particleIllusion products on the Windows platform, which were made available last December.
‘wondertouch continues to provide cross-platform tools that are reliable says Lorence. ‘The fact that this update provides significant enhancements to such a mature version of particleIllusion’free-of-charge’illustrates the level of support and commitment that our customers have come to rely upon.’
New features found in particleIllusion 3.0.7 and particleIllusion SE 2.0.2 for Mac OS X include tighter integration with pIllusionRender, wondertouch’s standalone renderer, for automatic rendering of HD and other large-format output (not available in SE); full compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 ‘Leopard’, as well as continued compatibility with OS X 10.3 and 10.4.; an emitter library auto update, which provides an easy way to check for, download, and install the particleIllusion emitter libraries that are provided free-of-charge by wondertouch each month; a particleView search engine to help users find particle emitters within the vast particleIllusion library of more than 2500 emitters for particleIllusion 3.0, and more than 2000 emitters for particleIllusion SE; a quick-load library (new to particleIllusion SE 2.0.2 and enhanced in particleIllusion 3.0.7), which makes switching between particleIllusion emitter libraries faster and easier; and bug fixes that address issues with previous versions of particleIllusion.
Registered owners of particleIllusion 3.0 and particleIllusion SE can download updates free-of-charge from the wondertouch website, www.wondertouch.com.
