Particle Accelerator is a tool for creating animated particles and textures. The new version will create looping animations from any input by crossfading… which I think makes it pretty feature-complete, so I’ve changed the version to 1.0.1 (I didn’t release 1.0 to the unsuspecting public).
Yet another cool utility! Thanks for sharing. BTW, what are you using to create your particle animations? I’ve been using Photoshop / GIMP which is limited to my artistic skills (or lack there of ).
I’m using Apple’s Motion to create my particles (it’s a free program that comes bundled with Final Cut Pro). Most of my particles are built from Motion’s presets – I put virtually no work into them.
