There is a special renderer for particleIllusion 3 that can render at higher resolutions, but the downside is that it doesn’t use open GL. It is free to particleIllusion 3 users only – it won;t work with other versions:

As far as speed goes, it depends on what you mean.
Certain effects can be slowed down by playing with things like Velocity, weight, size over life…etc. However, What I like to do to create slow motion is something like this:
Change the frame rate to something like 240 FPS (8x the normal frame rate), scale any emitter keyframes up by 800%, and then render out the effect as an image sequence (TGA, PNG, TIFF).
Then I bring the footage into after Effects and tell AE to read it at 30 FPS, which means AE plays it back at a normal frame rate, thereby slowing the whole thing down.
I’m sure that this method will work with any video editing package that can read image sequences. Heck, even if you have no video editing software, you could re-import that image sequence in to pIllusion (with the project set to 30 FPS) as a BG movie, and have it render it out again as an AVI at 30 FPS…
I’m happy to explain further if you need it, but since I’m in the business of selling myself, I’ll also mention I have about 20+ minutes devoted to this very subject on my DVD, particleIllusion Fusion Volume 1:

Hope that gives you some ideas.

No problem, It’s easy:
View (Menu) –> Project setting –> Frame rate area
FYI – Audio doesn’t use frame rates. Just length of time.
All the best.

I don’t think so, but that doesn’t mean it’s not easy to make.
Can you explain what you are looking for? It’s kind of unclear.
Thanks.

you don’t have to do it in front of a green screen. You can just render out as a TGA sequence witrh alpha.
Also, check out the “People in motion” at Marlin Studios. It’s a CD of image sequences of people in motion that you can use in a 3D program. they give away 2 for free at the website.

Sounds great!
Like I said, you need to have your footage exported as square pixles, or pIllusion won’t read it correctly.
Take it easy.

May 9, 2005 at 1:14 pm in reply to: is there away to trick or fake a neo look useing piThere are no plug-ins for pIllusion that I know of.
However, you can take a square shape and make it the particle shape, and make it a single emitter, and then scale it to the size of the entire screen.
Then make it’s color green, and then make it mostly transparent. This will tint everything green.
I’m not saying this is a great solution – I would probably do it in After Effects with some color effects, but if you only have pIllusion, maybe that will help you.

I’m not usually into shamelss self-promotion (OK, that’s a lie…), but on my DVD I cover working with non-square pixel aspect ratio footage in pIllusion. Even if you aren’t using After Effects, it’s one of those things that you may find usefull if you are working with anytyhing other than square pixel footage.
