I don’t know the effect you’re talking about, but you can try putting a small “single” particle black dot emitter over the eyes. It seems like other apps that contain paint tools would be a better choice though.

Take a look at this example:

If you’re using video instead of a 3D render, you’ll need to mask out the person in another application, or use blockers in particleIllusion.

I’d estimate that there are at least 150 different “magic” emitters in the libraries, including sparkles, orbing effects, etc.
The Dec. library has some “orbing” emitters in it.

This is a difficult task in any software, unless you’re adding the effects to 3D animation. If it’s a 3D animation, the best way to get shadows is to use your 3D packages particle system.
If you’re adding effects to video, or any source where you don’t have access to the original 3D projects, then I think you won’t have much luck with realistic shadows. Suppose that pIllusion was a fully 3D environment with shadow-casting lights and you wanted to add the meteor trail effect to some video you shot. How would you get the shadow to fall over the irregular objects in the video?
It seems to me you’d have to approximate these objects in your 3D app, make them invisible but able to “catch” shadows (is that possible?), then overlay the shadow footage over your video footage.
Is there an easier way?

You’ll have to provide your own download location — your own website for instance.
Unless you can find another user who would host it for you. wondertouch does not do this.

Ok, I tried emailing you, and get this error (part of the error message):
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: ‘550 5.2.1
Not sure what this means exactly, but it seems to indicate that your mail account is not valid, so my ISP won’t accept email from it.

Ah, “Sender is rejected”. My ISP is rejecting your email address it seems. I’ll check into it.

Certainly! A few things to keep in mind though:
– Make sure your work is your own. If derived from somebody else’s emitter and you haven’t made significant changes to it (it appears visually the same or similar), you should at the very least credit that person.
– Do not share emitters that you have purchased. There are some emitter sets that are not free, and of course you cannot give those away.
– Do not sell emitters that are not your own work, or are visually the same or very similar to emitters that were not your own work.
Other than that, please do share. pIllusion users are always looking for new emitters, and I especially like to see what other people are doing with pIllusion as it inspires me to create different emitters every month. Starting with somebody else’s emitter is one of the best ways to come up with something completely different.

They’re working — mail is coming in. Can you check with your ISP? What is the error message you’re getting?

I’m going to jump in here and say that the only people I know who have had problems loading images are those using cracked (illegal) versions of the program.
If this doesn’t apply to you, prove me wrong by sending me your order reference number: support at wondertouch dot com.
