Based on many users requests for particle libraries in fusion, cmiVFX has decided to take some of the most common effects used in entertainment and break them down step by step for artists around the world. From this wide variety of effects shown on this high definition DVD-Rom, users can both learn how to construct these complicated effects from scratch or modify our fusion files to work in their production pipeline.
