3D Particle Studio

Point the engine at any layer and it becomes a cloud of particles that keeps its colours, flowing through a sphere, a galaxy or your own outline. Keep the frame you like as a still, or embed the running engine so it keeps moving on your page.

Extension

Turn any layer into a living cloud of particles.

Particle effects usually mean a separate motion app, a render queue, and a result you cannot touch once it is out. The look is great until you want to change one colour, and then you are back at the start.

3D Particle Studio rebuilds any layer out of particles, right in the editor. Point it at a photo, a logo or a shape and it becomes a swarm that keeps the original colours, then flows through a sphere, a galaxy, a helix or the outline of your own layer. Curl, noise, waves and a twist push the motion, while fountains, embers and light bursts throw new particles into the scene.

The whole cloud is lit so its depth reads, it runs on your graphics card, and it plays back in front of you. Stop on the frame you like, turn the scene, and study it from any side.

When it looks right, lay that frame into your document as a picture, or embed the running engine so it keeps moving on your page. Presets hand you a nebula, a supernova or a slow assemble in one click, and every dial is yours from there. Everything is computed in your browser.

Features

Any layer becomes the swarm

Point the engine at a photo, a logo or a shape and it rebuilds it out of particles that keep its colours.

Features

Shapes, fields and motion

Send the cloud through a sphere, a galaxy, a helix or your own outline, then push it with curl, noise, waves or a twist.

Features

Emitters and light

Fountains, rising embers, ring and light bursts feed the scene, lit so the depth of the cloud reads.

Features

A still or a living loop

Freeze the frame you like as a picture, or embed the running engine so it keeps moving on your page.

What is included

Shapes to pour the cloud into: grid, sheet, sphere, ring, galaxy, helix, cube or your own layer
Motion fields: curl, noise, waves and twist
Emitters: fountain, rising embers, ring burst, light burst and comets
Trails, plexus links and morphs between forms
Magnet and vortex pins you can place in the scene
Ready presets from nebula and galaxy to supernova and wind dissolve
A still frame for your document, or an embedded loop for the web

Requirements

Works on top of the free WunderPaint. A 3D studio: needs WebGL2 with hardware graphics.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Any layer becomes the particle source, and the swarm keeps its colours, so a face stays a face while it forms and dissolves.

Both. Stop on the frame you like and drop it into your document as a picture, or embed the running engine so it keeps moving on your page.

Add 3D Particle Studio to your editor.

It comes with the Pro plan, updates included, and supports the continued development of the free open-source editor.

Free

Chaos Art

Autonomous painters make one-of-a-kind abstract art in 3D space - gestures, art movements, painterly media, and embeds that paint a new original for every visitor.

Pro

Particle Strokes

Paint with swarms of light: twenty-two movements, a stamp you draw yourself, and curves that give a stroke a shape - the swarm keeps painting for a few seconds after you let go.

Pro

City Diorama

Any place on earth as a miniature you could hold: real streets, water and building footprints raised into a 3D diorama - or wrapped around a sphere as your own tiny planet.

Free

Papercut Art

Layered paper pictures with real depth - a photo sliced along its actual depth into up to twenty layers, parametric landscapes, animals and clouds you can shape, letters with real counters, and a look that runs on three dials.

Pro

3D Earth Studio

A hyperrealistic globe - day and night with city lights, live clouds, atmosphere halo, country borders and highlights, click-to-place markers with flight-route arcs, satellite orbits, seamless rotation video and a live website embed.

Free

Mystic Studio

Turn a birth date into wall art - a real natal chart with houses and aspects, the moon of that night, zodiac and Chinese zodiac posters, numerology cards and a synastry wheel for two, in eight artful themes.

Free

Marble Bath

Marble paper on a virtual water bath - drop, rake and comb real Ebru patterns with gestures, flowers and classic recipes, razor-sharp at any size and re-editable as a layer.

Free

Day Ring

Turn a day into a beautiful circular schedule - colour-coded time blocks as arcs around a 24-hour clock, with concentric rings for overlaps, emoji, templates and a legend.

Free

Code Shot

Turn code into a gorgeous, share-ready image - syntax highlighting, editor themes, window frames and diff highlighting - then drop it into your design as a re-editable layer.

Pro

3D Solar System Studio

Build a date-accurate 3D solar system - real planet positions for any date, photoreal textures and one slider from artistic to true scale - then drop it into your design as an editable layer.

Pro

3D Molecule Studio

Build a real 3D molecule - from a curated library, the periodic table or a SMILES string - then style it, measure it and drop it into your design as an editable layer.

Pro

3D Textile Studio

Drop your design onto cloth that behaves like the material you pick: silk falls soft, felt holds its shape, flag fabric snaps in the wind. Hang it, blow it and drape it, then lay the finished drape back into your document as a picture.
