Simply Awesome Program - Version: 3.0.2, 5/18/2004 08:50PM PST

If you have Adobe After Effects as part of your production workflow then you should have this program as well. While doing many of the same things Combustion takes them to the next level. It is not as easy to use as After Effects but patience will be rewarded. The particle tools are absolutely great and the included particle effect settings may be all you even need. Make realistic water falls with water cascading off of rocks present in the video footage where there was no water at all, to fire breathing dragons or people to weapons fire and transporter effects it is all in this package.

When you start creating your own particles and other effects in this program you get to the real power of the program. I used to have both After Effects and Combustion installed but finding that I used Combustion to overcome problems I was having in AE then AE was removed to clear up drive space!

My only wish for this program is that they should include many more presets....the last big upgrade from version 2 to version 3 included hardly any new presets. Most users will make their own anyway but it would be nice to have these to kick out quick effects and give as some different viewpoints and startpoints for our own.

update, Discreet! Ditto on the 3Ds Max request. However, Discreet is NOT AutoDesk (the PARENT company), and AutoDesk appear to me Mac-phobic. The Mac community should try supporting MAYA though...it's got almost every feature a serious animator could want (except rendering speed : ), and I say this as a EI Universe and LightWave user!
