wondertouch President, Alan Lorence, to Present at Motion Graphics Los Angeles (MGLA) Monthly Meeting, November 20, 2007

WHO:

Alan Lorence, president of wondertouch, the developers of the award-winning particleIllusion particle effects application, will be a featured speaker at the MGLA monthly meeting on November 20, 2007.

WHAT:

Lorence will give a "sneak peek" of the long-awaited particleIllusion plug-in for Adobe After Effects: pIllusion AE. The plug-in will afford motion graphics and visual effects professionals to easily access the powerful and highly-acclaimed particleIllusion 3.0 engine from directly within the After Effects environment to efficiently add and modify spectacular particle effects from the huge particleIllusion library.

Lorence will also include a brief overview of particleIllusion 3.0 (the standalone application), compare it to pIllusion AE, and show how the two products complement each other. Calling on his many years of experience as an industry-leading particle effects designer he will also demonstrate several particle emitter creation tips that can be applied to almost any particle system – not just particleIllusion – resulting in more realism, more complexity, and better performance.
