BlastFX

BlastFX is your go-to tool if you're looking to create some awesome special effects! Making complex effects can be tricky, especially when you're working with sprite sheets for games. But don't worry, if you want GPU-accelerated retro particles that have that classic 8/16 bit vibe, you’ve landed in the right spot!

What is BlastFX?

This desktop application gives you all the tools you need to whip up cool particle effects. Once you've created your animations, you can save them as sprite sheets and use them in your games or any other projects you've got on your mind.

User-Friendly Yet Powerful

BlastFX is compact and super handy. It gives you just the right amount of flexibility to craft stunning 2D effects quickly. We all know developers and artists sometimes don’t have time or patience to draw every single frame for animations. That’s where BlastFX shines!

Getting Started with BlastFX

The first time you open it up, it might feel a bit overwhelming because there’s so much to explore. So, take your time! Try out the features one at a time until you feel comfortable with everything.

Easy Navigation

The interface is pretty organized, which helps make your workflow smooth. You can add multiple emitters in a scene and choose whether they loop or not. Plus, there’s a variety of shapes to pick from!

Customize Your Effects

You can even change how the particles look! Want them to resemble bubbles or smoke? No problem! You can adjust particle numbers, spread, angles, speed—whatever you can think of is customizable.

Your Creative Control

One thing I really love about BlastFX is how easy it is to add and modify effects using a flow-chart-like graph. From gradients and color palettes to outlines and pixelation effects—everything adds more depth to your special effects.

Post-Processing Power

BlastFX isn’t just about making particles; it's also a customizable post-processing tool that helps refine how those animations look in your final renders. Whether you're going for retro vibes or something high-def, the choice of how your blasts appear is totally up to you.
