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.

Vectorize 2 is the ideal tool for quickly and conveniently turning pixel graphics into resolution-independent, fully scalable vector artwork. Whether you have a logo that only exists as a small JPG file, a comic drawing, a sketch, or even a complete photo, Vectorize 2 for Mac, iPhone and iPad turns your pixels into vectors. Converting a pixel-based graphic such as a photo or drawing into a resolution-independent vector graphic is remarkably simple. Just choose a file or use your iPhone to take a picture, and let Vectorize 2 do the rest. Then adjust the level of detail and decide whether you would like to add contours or edge smoothing. After that, the finished result is only one click away: export your graphic as a PDF, SVG, or Logoist file for further editing. NEW IN VECTORIZE 2 With Vectorize 2, turning images into resolution-independent vector artwork is more accurate than ever – thanks to an entirely new vectorization engine. Shapes and curves are detected with much higher precision, fine details are preserved more faithfully, and color gradients are translated with greatly improved accuracy. In some cases, the app can even understand how a background color gradient continues behind an object. This leads to cleaner, more convincing, and more natural-looking results. The interface has also seen major improvements and now shines in Apple’s new “Liquid Glass” design language. In addition, we have made the app even more comfortable and easier to use. Core Features of Vectorize 2 - Supported Export Formats: PDF, SVG, Logoist - Supported Import Formats: JPG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, GIF - Fields of Application: Vectorize photos, logos, drawings, graphics, and more in order to upscale at will
