The SE version can produce ALL of the effects that particleIllusion 2.0 can.
It loads and saves project files (IPFs) and emitter library files (IELs), so you have access
to the hundreds of "preset" effects available here. Plus, it works at the same speed
that particleIllusion does: FAST! Using OpenGL you'll get real-time (or near real-time)
rendering, and customizing the effects it produces is quick and easy.
Explosions, smoke, sparkles -- SE can create them all.
Visit www.wondertouch.com
and look at the flash samples of effects that particleIllusion SE can produce.
Page 2 of the sampler contains effects that SE can produce.
With particleIllusion SE you can load your footage (AVI or image sequence), then apply
as many emitter (effects) as you want. Then you can either render the effects on top of your footage,
or save the effects only with alpha channel (for compositing in another application).
LIMITATIONS IN VERSION 2.0 SE
particleIllusion SE is based on the particleIllusion 2.0 engine, so SE doesn't have
