  • Organisation of emitters? Searchable Database?

    Posted by Riw Sfx on April 13, 2006 at 7:54 pm

    I have Particle Illusion SE and have downloaded all the emitters, and noted many cool effects. However, when I come to work on prducts I takes my ages to search through the ever-growing mass of emitter library, simply named 06_02 etc. with no indictation of thier content.

    Therefore, is there any way of collating all similar emitters, so all fire in one library, all smoke in another etc. Or is there an online database where people can search for emitters by type or keyword and then find the library they are in.

    Thanks (particularly to those who make emitters and tutorials, they are great)

    All the libraries before pI3 were reorganized into categories (fire, smoke, nature, logos, etc) and included on the software CD.

    But other than that, the absolute best way to find emitters is by downloading Kim Cuttle’s spreadsheets of all the emitters at this site

    The CNV just designates that these emitters were made in 3.0 and converted back into the format that 2.0 can read. So just imagine that the CNV isn’t there.
