Wow, TimelineFX seems to be a great 2D particle effect software!
I have also pIllusion but I now use HitFilm that generate particles I 3D space when i need more realistic effects on my iClone renderings.
iClone have a great 3D particle generator but It would be nice if the particle effects inside iClone get more settings :)
Some whishes:
- Particle bounce when hitting a wall or a hidden layer
- Particle blocking so it stops at a wall
- Light and shadow influence on particles
- Scale all settings inside a particle on same time
- Reduce speed on particle to make realistic smoke
- Group several particle effects
- Pre start so particle is fully grown at frame one when rendering
