3D ParticleGen Visual FX
About
ParticleGen is a flexible and highperformance tool for the creation of multifaceted 3D particle effects in real-time. Thanks to numerous professional features like Interactive real-time previews and the exact setting of parameters using curve diagrams, the program is ideally suited for DTP, video compositing, post processing, software development and all kinds of visualization.
ParticleGen enables the realization of almost any desired effect, from explosions and fog to reflections in water. Besides using your own particle shapes which can be created with any conventional image editing program, the software also allows you to import textured 3DS files, which you then can use as particles or animations. For "Autodesk Maya" users, ParticleGen enables users to import camera animation for compositing purposes. Yet another of the software's special features is the display of optical deformation effects like shimmering air, shock waves, etc.
ParticleGen also enables you to import the widest range of file formats, like TGA (images and sequences), BMP, DDS or AVI.Features

ParticleGen is a flexible and high-performance tool for creating multiple 3D particle effects in real time. Many professional features like interactive real-time previews and precise parameter tuning using curve diagrams, the program is ideal for DTC, video compositing, post-processing, software development and all kinds of visualization.
ParticleGen allows the realization of almost any desired effect, explosions and fog with reflections in the water. In addition to using your own particle shapes that can be created with any classic image editing program, the software also allows you to import text-based 3DS files, which you can then use as particles or animations. For users "Autodesk Maya", ParticleGen allows users to import camera animation for compositional purposes. Yet another of the peculiarities of the software is the display of optical deformation effects such as shimmering air, shock waves, etc.
ParticleGen also allows you to import the widest range of file formats, such as TGA (images and sequences), BMP, DDS or AVI.

Initial Analysis (~ 6.7/10.0) Well, let's give it... This is a Program... Great, so you should... Add It!!!, don't miss the opportunity.
Wait, read it all before you do what you're thinking. For the price... Just... Good balance. And your time in the chair will be Short.
The user interface really feels that it is age. The application consists of many free floating windows that do not connect, but there is a lot of functionality, curve editors to control particle parameters over time, timelines for stratification and sequencing groups of these Effects, etc. It is well designed and functional.
It Seems that this application aims to target the visual effects industry, not the development of games...
There is No way to export particle effects as a resource or as a C code or shading, which could be a really useful add-on if the source code can be dredged somewhere. All You can export is a bitmap sequence that contains the particle effect.
As I said is not for video game development... It's more for video... So if you are interested in this is your program Considerations: The Duration: As Such the Program has a Short duration...
Price: It Is considerate... Just... Good balance. Regarding its content..
The story: N/A or Does Not have...
Quality: The Program has More than good content.
.. Quality...
The quantity:... It Has little things.....
The good Thing: There Are Several good things in the Program, like... Usability, Ambience, Effects, Diversity,...
The bad: There Are things you should consider, like... Content, Price,...
The Ugly: There Are things you don't want to see, like... Duration...
What's uncomfortable: Coming Soon.
Possible improvements: Obviously The Bad and the ugly, but there may be more... Soon.
Rating: Rating: ~ 6.7/10.0 ADD It!!!, don't miss the chance.
Usability: 7.0/10.0 More than good.
Difficulty/IA: N/A/10.0 N/A or Not.
Content: 5.0/10.0 Has little...
Video/Graphics: N/A/10.0 N/A or Not.
History/Context: N/A/10.0 N/A or Not.
Ambientation: 7.0/10.0 More than good.
Effects: 7.0/10.0 More than good.
