Good particle software

armagon · Oct 2014

I'm working on a game that uses pre-rendered bitmap animations for particles. I've been using TimelineFx to create some decent animations, but the software is really limited when it comes to creating particles from scratch or heavily customizing existing particles.

Do you guys recommend any other software that allows me to create particle sequences and export them as individual transparent PNG frames?

Ive rendered stuff in maya, fluid dynamics etc can be pretty awesome and then you can use a tool to pack the textures into a sheet.

I've used After Effects very successfully for rendering out particle effects. And then use Texture Packer to make bitmap film strips.

Has anyone used particleillusion?
