Particle Generator

Features
Read full description

Particle Generator is an interactive particle visualizer with a video capturing option. You can create your own custom particle visual effects and record them in video mode. Lastly, you can use the video for creative purposes. Features: • 9 particle textures available for selection • Ability to set a custom texture by loading an image from the library • Touch to set particle emission position • Adjustable particle emitter options: Position, Angle, Speed, Alpha, Scale, and Rotation • Ability to set particle color gradient • Ability to set background color • Save/load particle presets • Save particle effect snapshots to the camera roll • Save particle effect videos to the camera roll Particle Settings Quick Explanation Emitter Birthrate = [100] particles born per second Maximum = [0] is infinite. If set to a specific number, e.g., [1000], particles will stop once the limit is reached Lifetime Start = [20] each particle lives for [20] seconds before disappearing Range = [5] each particle lives for 20 ± [5] seconds Position Range X = [80] particle birth range in width Y = [80] particle birth range in height Angle Start = [0] particle starting angle in degrees Range = [60] particle starts at 0 ± [60] degrees Speed Start = [50] moves at [50] velocity Range = [10] moves at 50 ± [10] velocity Acceleration X = [0] negative for acceleration to the left, positive for right Y = [0] negative for acceleration downward, positive for upward Alpha Start = [0.5] initial alpha value ([0] = transparent, [1] = opaque) Range = [0.3] alpha range: 0.5 ± [0.3] Speed = [-0.05] animates particle transparency (negative = more transparent, positive = more opaque) Scale Start = [0.5] initial scale Range = [0.2] scale range: 0.5 ± [0.2] Speed = [-0.05] animates particle size (negative = smaller, positive = larger) Rotation Start = [30.0] starting rotation angle in degrees Range = [120.0] rotation range: 30 ± [120] degrees Speed = [-0.02] animates rotation (negative = clockwise, positive = counterclockwise) Create distinctive, beautiful particle effects with plenty of customization options. You can create rain effects, fireworks, or any abstract art effect and enjoy the colorful particle show. This particle show brings joy and a cheerful atmosphere to your device. Thanks for your support, and do visit nitrio.com for more apps for your iOS devices.

Transform Stereoscopic Shaders into Stunning High-Res Spatial 3D Videos Unlock the next dimension of visual storytelling with our cutting-edge technology that converts dynamic shaders into breathtaking high-resolution spatial 3D videos. Perfect for immersive experiences, futuristic digital art installations, and next-level advertising, our solution brings depth, realism, and cinematic quality to every frame. Elevate your creative projects with fluid, lifelike motion and unparalleled detail—seamlessly rendered for Vision Pro. Step into the future of 3D content creation today! This is where code meets cinematic immersion. Background Spatial Shader is a shader engine that creates stereosopic, immersive, and 3D spatial shader experiences. The engine achieves the stereosopic effect, by rendering two shader images, one for each eye, taking into account the positional differences between the device anchor and the position of the person’s eyes. A shader is a small program that determines how pixels and vertices are rendered on screen, creating realistic lighting, shading, and effects in 3D graphics. It's the key to making objects in a scene look lifelike and visually appealing. A spatial shader, similar to a spatial photo or spatial video, will appear in 3D when viewed on Apple Vision Pro. Spatial Shader uses Apple's low-overhead 3D hardware-accelerated Metal API 3D to draw everything a user sees. Spatial Shaders Mandelbulb Voyage A mandelbulb is a 3 dimensional fractal, widely recognized for its intricate and visually stunning structures. It is an extension of the Mandelbrot Set (2D fractal) into three dimensions. It is created in 2009 by Daniel White and Paul Nylander and uses a novel formula involving spherical coordinates.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Spatial Shader at Free against Particle Generator's $2.99. Particle Generator's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
