I’ve already found the emitter, and posted which libraries to look in. Check my earlier post!

When weird things happen like this to me, I restart the machine. You’d be amazed how often that helps.

Did you read Elvis’ reply?
Start – Programs – particleIllusion 3 – reset default settings

I’m hoping I’ve posted this before, but there is a known problem that may cause this:
If you exit particleIllusion 3 (for Windows only) when the main window Preview window background color is set to “image”, it won’t start up (although it usually gives you one of the Windows “this program has caused an error…” message windows).
The only way to fix it (in 3.0.1a) is to “reset default settings”.

No, sorry. To get the particleIllusion emitters converted to Motion, we have to put them through special conversion software, then do some manual editing.
There have been a lot more emitters released since we converted the first Motion set, so maybe we should release a “volume 2”.

R-click in the graph window and select “zoom”. I think that’s what you’re looking for.

It will fit the AE UI.
It’s been our intent all along NOT to put the entire pIllusion interface into the plug-in, but provide access to the “most-used” upper-level parameters, at least in the first version of the plug-in.
So, you’ll be able to adjust “zoom”, “size”, “velocity”, etc. for each emitter, but not for each particle type. You also won’t be able to adjust other particle-level settings like reference point, color gradient (and all of the other color options), etc.
The idea is to make the huge pI3 library accessible within AE, and not overwhelm users.

Check the March 2002 User Emitters library.
It seems that the “user libraries” are not in the catalog. Shoot. Don’t really have time to investigate this right now.

Download the emitter catalog — there’s a link on the emitter libraries download page. Once you unzip it and open the html catalog, you can use your browser’s “find” function to search for “fish” or whatever.
