TimelineFX, Independently Produced Particle Effects Editor, is at the Top of its Class If you"ve never heard of TimelineFX, Rigzsoft"s proprietary particle effects editor for generating special effects, then you may have played games partially produced by this program. We all love fountains of sparks, realistic explosions, and mysterious shimmering swooshes, but if we"re trying to make games ourselves, it can be difficult to include those special effects. With TimelineFX, all the mystery is taken out of particle effects. This can be ideal for the amateur game programmer who doesn"t have the benefit of a separate art staff. Read on to see exactly what sets TimelineFX apart from the rest! What It Does: Basically, TimelineFX allows you to create realistic smoke, water, explosion, fire, bubble and other sorts of energetic special effects for your games or movies. You can easily loop an animation to insert as a stand-alone object into your game, or you can create an animated texture with multiple looping animations tied together. These effects can then be exported to sprite sheets, image strips, separate images or even GIF animations. With TimelineFX you can adjust color changes over time, change the angle of motion and emission, change the particle shape settings, add or subtract any particular particles, and blend multiple particle motions together with the program"s additive blend mode. You can access any of these options through just a few clicks through easy-to-follow menus, and when you make the changes you can instantly see how they affect your effect. You can also import shapes, both static and animated, to be transformed into new particle effects. This particle effects editor has been used across the board for all manner of programs, but the most common recent applications have been iPhone and iPad games for download and purchase in Apple"s App Store. This is because TimelineFX allows you to export to PVRTC format, a compressed format that can boost performance on the iPhone and iPad. TimelineFX has had clients ranging from simple developers of Adobe Flash style micro-games known for being addictive online time-wasters to professional, commercial game developers who produce epic action, adventure, RPG or other types of games that seem to last for ages. Prior to TimelineFX, professional quality particle effects were only for big-time developers with enormous staffs and budgets. Now, anyone can make games with top-notch explosions, fire, water, and other special effects that look so real it"s hard to believe that they were made with a single program by an independent game developer or development studio.
