Updated Gradient Editor and Presets:
- Revamped gradient editing with advanced features like "flip" and "space" actions, complete undo/redo capability, and a random gradient generator. Delight in the fun with new color and alpha gradient presets, making your particle color workflow more enjoyable than ever.
Deflector and Force Improvements:
Significant updates to Deflectors and Forces, essential influencers in particle dynamics:
- Deflectors are now 3D, offering rotation, depth adjustment, and 3D space animation.
Enhanced reliability of Deflectors eliminates issues like "leaking" at corners or unpredictable bounces.
Forces now boast "Direction Turbulence," enabling the addition of organic motion to particles without the need for fluid dynamics.
Easier to Use:
- The Controls View (parameter list) has undergone a redesign, organizing related parameters into labeled sections.
3D Models as Emitters:
- Working with emitters and objects in 3D is now more accessible with the introduction of 3D widgets. Utilize C4D or OBJ files as particle emitters, featuring various emission options. Draw model wireframes for unique looks, and enjoy a streamlined workflow with direct position, rotation, and scaling of objects on the stage.
