Millions and Millions of Particles
The maximum particle limit allows quick bursts of up to one million particles per second!
3D Camera Integration
Particular OFX offers complete integration with Nukes’ 3D camera and 3D preview.
Sprites and Polygons
Custom particles allow the use of image node or movies as 2D Textured Polygons.
Light Me Up
Shade the particles with eight built-in lights or tie in Nukes lights for greater control. Shading on the particles emulates light falloff to make the particles look more natural.
Dynamic Self-shadowing
Shadowlet rendering can cast shadows on both main and aux particles, adding realistic self-shadowing from a single light source.
Advanced Physics Engine
Particular offers support for glitch free-animation of turbulent properties.
Full Floating-Point Support
Improved bit-depth support offers high-quality 32 bit-per-channel rendering, which allows full-range output with HDR results.
Auxiliary Particles
In Particular, particles can emit their own auxiliary particles, enabling objects to leave bright or smoky trails.
Reflection Maps
Textured Polygon particles can use a reflection map to add dynamic color changes to particles as they rotate in 3D. This feature is ideal for adding glints to rotating particles.
Rotation, Rotation, Rotation
Textured Polygon particles can fully rotate in 3D space, with randomized rotation direction and speed, and automatic orientation to the direction of their motion.
Streak It Up
Streaklet particles resemble long-exposure light effects, as seen in Apple’s iPod Nano Remastered commercials.
Transform Your World
For animation flexibility, the Transform World feature allows the entire Particular workspace to be offset or rotated in 3D space without moving the Nuke camera.
Motion Blur
Built-in motion blur feature lends realism to moving particles.
Physics Time Factor
Freeze time while moving the camera around in a scene, Matrix-style.
Non-Square Pixels
Particular handles non-square pixel aspect ratios correctly.
Built-In Help
Extensive user guide features and instructive video tutorials give step-by-step examples.
