Boris FX Continuum 2024: New Features in Particle Illusion

[@thewaxlab]

Great stuff. Glad to see this PI keeps getting significant updates.

[@BorisFXco]

We're happy that you're happy. And we are also independently happy that Particle Illusion keeps getting better and better.

[@pitajose4627]

why not just use your local stable diffusion in your computer to generate without having to pay extra ?

[@BorisFXco]

This gives you a stable way to generate sprites inside of Particle Illusion that we can support if users have problems. Each image costs about $0.002 (0.2c), depending on your exact settings. Remember, there's nothing to stop you using a local install of SD and importing the clips as normal if that's what you prefer. That still works.

Is there a way to use a tracked plane as a deflector? I'd like to be able to collide particles with something more organic like a body or a face.

[@BorisFXco]

Not yet. This is a great feature request though. All deflector animation has to be done manually at this time.

[@hanalanaelle1357]

@@BorisFXco I see. Where do I make requests though?

[@BorisFXco]

I've done it for you. Our forums are the best place to come with feature suggestions : forum.borisfx.com/

Or the GROUND? One would think the ground is the most common location for a "partical" to end up, right?

[@SkillzRicosGamerTv]

I need a guide of how to use this in correlation with Vegas Pro Post 21.

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

Can they do more than float? Can they fall to the ground? Or at least can they "float" downwards? So they appear that they are influenced by gravity?

[@BorisFXco]

Absolutely. Each particle type has "Weight" controls. These will make particles fall, or if they are set to a negative number, rise up. Check out some of the presets to see how these work in practice.

Have this program. Downliad it 2 years ago. But when i change my windows for 11 version cannot open now😢

u r always my great teacher

[@BorisFXco]

Thank you! 😃

[@LagoDosSantos]

Is Final Cut a compatible host?

[@BorisFXco]

Not for Particle Illusion. You can use the (free) standalone version of Particle Illusion and render out assets to FCP, but you can't use it as a plugin effect.

[@EvokAi]

Can you make tutorial of PI for iclone?

[@resolving_boris]

Is Beat Reactor still limited to AE?

[@BorisFXco]

Only the standalone Beat Reactor plugin is limited to AE. The integrated Beat Reactor in Continuum filters, like Particle Illusion, works across the different hosts.

[@VFXkabilan]

now your step ahead with A,i

[@BorisFXco]

It's a great way to create brand new emitters with older presets!

[@ElinaCmd]

Instead of making it more friendly you guys are making it hard, stressing Artist... So much game effect fx to concentrate on, would rather prefer ai video generator

[@BorisFXco]

We're trying to open more options up for people to use these tools. If there is something we can do to help make it easier, please tell us.
