Game Overview & History
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.FeaturesTrue 3D display, with wind and gravity influencesInteractive real-time preview with High Dynamic Range RenderingDisplay of optical deformation effects (Displacement Maps)Codec, frame rate, frame interlace and color space can be individually setConfigurable lighting, background and terrainUse of own textures and 3D objects as well as background images and videosExtensive particle, texture and effects libraryExport Per Frame (DDS series, TGA series) or as video (AVI) up to 4000×3000 Pixel Export of depth information and alpha channelResets for PAL-, NTSC- and HDTV formats
