I know some folks want me to do a PI tutorial, lol ;)
but I honestly don't know enough yet to be any good with Particle Illusion, and I mean as in "Know how to REALLY use it properly"
masks, etc.
anyway, did this pic using Particle Illison to make the bluw magic bolts and the fireball
so, for those who're thinking about getting Particle Illusion, let's you see what can be done by even a noob :)

I have been thinking of the modestly priced version of PI. It looks fun!

this all looks interesting actually, is PI practical for static scenes ?

R P Studious
yup that's what I use it for :)
import an image
bmp psd tif
as a backgorund, create particle illusion stuff above
export to chosen file type
NOTE
remmeber, it's about a single frame, so you export a single rame AND get yer effects to coincide, or look right, at that frame!
say a fireball lasts 100 frames, a smoke cloud lasts 30 frames, you want both, start the smoke frame say at 80 frames after the fireball, so it has 20 frames of overlap to chose from, you dig? :)

All the smoke and explosion effects here came from alpha planes created in PI.

For the record: I only have the PLE. These alpha planes came with Monsoon's marvelous "Fire" package.
