WONDERTOUCH SHOWING PARTICLEILLUSION WITH PRO EMITTERS

BOSTON – Manchester, MO’s Wondertouch LLC (www.wondertouch.com), a software developer specializing in particle effects, is demonstrating its ParticleIllusion software line at SIGGRAPH. The tool is available to both Windows and Mac OS X users.

Earlier this year, the company introduced the new Professional Emitters collection for ParticleIllusion 3.0, featuring 180 emitters arranged into themed libraries that include explosions, auroras, breaking glass, motion graphics, artistic backgrounds, text and abstract effects. The Pro Emitters were developed by artists Tom Granberg, Sasha Milica and Phalkunabba Rath.

Recently, ParticleIllusion has been used in the production of the feature film Superman Returns, the HBO documentary Too Hot Not to Handle: A Global Warming Primer, and the upcoming documentary, Egyptian Book of the Dead, scheduled to air on the History Channel this Fall.
