Xah Particle Maker is a particle machine that generates fire particles, smoke particles, rain particles, special effects, in fact ANY particle effects without scripting.
Features
• No Scripting skill Required. Just touch buttons and mouse glide on panels. Respond to typed command too.
• 17 presets by touch: rain, snow, flame, volcano, fireworks, smoke, water jet, laser blast, supernova, solar wave, double spiral, flowing hearts, ...
• Most Easy to use. Simple in-world 3D user interface. Not a flat HUD or complex control center.
• Real Time Control. The sliders update particles in real time as you move your mouse.
• Smart random particle generator. Artificial Intelligence algorithm finds good particle patterns by a single touch. Every few touches you'll discover particle effects you've never seen in Second Life.
• Support Targeting. Touch a prim makes particles follow you.
• Automatic Version Update. Automatically check for availability of latest version on rez, and delievers to you free.
• Designed For Scripters Too. Type commands to set any parameters with numerical values. Commands have 2 or 3-letter abbreviations. Auto correct out of bound values for all parameters, and notify you or fixes values that are valid but no effect. Smartly activates dependant parameters. Inactive parameters are shown as ◇. Accept color code in hex/0-255/lsl syntaxes. Accept angle inputs as degree. No need to type vector brackets. If less than 3 vector components are given, smartly set missing components.
This product is a demo version of Xah Particle Maker. This demo version does not have a convenient texture tool and does not generate particle script. All items described on this page and screenshots are fully functional though. You can use this version to see what particles are possible, and experiment with all parameters. If you know some scripting, you can get a particle script template (its freely available in many places, just ask people) and put the parameters displayed on this machine to create you own full perm particle script.

Great demo
it is amazing and easy to use
I LOVE THIS PARTICLE MAKER!! I have the full version too, but the particle maker does everything. It is fun to just play around with, but I find myself creating and using the particles I create often. It is intuitively easy to use, and you can generate any number of one of a kind custom particles to use in your builds (like fire, rain, snow, hearts..and those are just the basics!). Buy it, you'll like it!
It's fun. It's intuitive. And although you can't get the scripts unless you by the full version, you'll find yourself playing with the demo. Who can resist the lure of buttons?
