I think there needs to be a plugin first, no?

It's okay -- I'm REAL familiar with being confused (long before I became an old man, which didn't help any).

I'm positive there will be a sub-forum for it, though -- hopefully one where we can share FX (that would be the most valuable part of having such a forum).

Hi Guys,

Yeah you're right.

But then I've always been easily confused.

When I saw this :I assumed the best. And repeated my thanks across the forum. Ah well...

I think he got confused when he saw that someone had posted a TOPIC on Popcorn in the Add-on forums.

There is no sub-forum (yet).

I see that RL have added a POPCORNFX forum to the plug-ins.

Thanks for that, RL.

I know the effects look terrific (especially compared to the particles we now have in iClone) but to me the most important part of that page is this (because I'm WAY too old to learn yet another particle system -- I want a full featured set available that I can tweak):

• Primary Build-up System
• Full 3D Effect Collections (!!!!! Yay!!)

I rescued a PopcornFX update from my SPAM folder and got this WIP video

https://www.reallusion.com/iclone/vfx/popcornfx/default.html

Launch date is set at present for December 2017 according to the briefing.

It also offers a download of the editor for us to practice on before the plug-in arrives.

"Free Editor & PopcornFX Import for Limitless Particles

• Create brand new particle behaviors using the powerful script-based PopcornFX Editor.
• Learn by samples, wiki, and free tutorials.
• Directly load PopcornFX into iClone via the PopcornFX Plug-in."

I would certainly hope that at least most major particle systems are included in any price for a plug-in for this -- otherwise you are just paying for, say, a python interface (where you have to do all the scripting yourself to make anything worthwhile).  While I am definitely looking forward to the python ability, I wouldn't pay for it as a separate plug-in as there just wouldn't be much value in that.

The same goes here -- much of the value really comes from any canned stuff that can be used right away.  But let's see what the price is before we worry too much (if this is more than $100 it had damn well better include a ton of particle systems).

I found some French tutorial and seriously learning all this script fonction by heart is not my cup of tea. It's really a job itself.
https://wiki.popcornfx.com/index.php/Scripting_reference_1110
The principe of Popcorn is like the UDK "Cascade" particle but it's called Layers instead of cascade module. But I'm shure for people 
comfortable with script could make a Template particle like the Super substance Tool to make very descent particle in a easy way. All popcorn fonction could
be create as a slider and I really don't understand why they didn't make this to democratize their fabulous app.
Another strange thing is there is a hidden application to create Atlas sprite called "Atlas Builder" in the App folder.
Let's see what Reallusion have in their wharehouse ;)
