The best wormhole emitters are in the Pro Emitter Libraries.
But there are other “tunnel” emitters in the free libraries. Use particleView to search for “tunnel” or “wormhole”.
particleView is installed with the latest version of particleIllusion 3, or you can download if from our website.

I think you can import one big file, then after it’s in pIllusion, manually set the “break” keys where the tracking point changes.
Email the files to me at support at wondertouch dot com so I can play around with it.

TIFF should be fine, but since there are so many different “flavors” of TIFF, I usually avoid it.
Just use PNG, or TGA, or an AVI with the huffyuv or lagarith codecs.

Can you combine the 3 files into 1 file? Why do you have 3 files to begin with?
If you’re using 3 different tracking points from the same shot, you may need to do the tracking manually in particleIllusion, using a “break” frame to designate a new tracking point.

I’ve been thinking about this, and through the magic of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine website (Google it), I was able to retrieve the old wibwobweb site.
I’ve downloaded the project file, and have saved it to particleIllusion 3 format. Download here:

Well, just realized that there’s a typo in one of the emitter names. The second “made from Pro Em: Pyro 01” emitter — the fire one, not the explosion — should have been “made from Pro Em: Pyro 02”, but I’m not going to change it.
It’s not that big of a deal, but just wanted to point it out.

R-click on the emitter in the hierarchy (after adding to the stage) and “import – position data”.
There’s no export back to 3D — you render the particles with an alpha channel for compositing back on your 3D render.

Sounds like something got deleted. If you’ve made changes to any of your emitter libraries, make a backup of your “Emitter Libraries” folder, then reinstall.
The manual is not available by itself, but if you can’t get it working let me know and I’ll upload it.

We just talked about this. Look at the posts in the “video or animation as particles” thread (it’s just 4 topics down from this one!)

Just look in the “Manual” folder of your “particleIllusion SE” folder, and launch “index.htm” (or is it .html?)
