DESCRIPTION
ShowIEL is a free utility that allows you to view particleIllusion effects. With the new version you can now load any particleIllusion emitter library, including the newer libraries created in particleIllusion 3.0. Version 3.1 now supports ELC files (created with discreet combustion) Although it was originally intended as just a simple means to view what particleIllusion can do, we found out that it was a lot of fun to just "play around" with the various effects. We like fun, but we also like useful tools, so in this new release of ShowIEL we've added a couple of features that make ShowIEL something you can create with. Besides adding a "grab" feature (that saves the current image to a TGA image), you can now turn off erasing, so the particles "paint" themselves across the window.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.1 or later, video card with OpenGL support.

The ShowIEL download comes with a "sampler" library -- it contains a few emitters (effects) from many of the 25+ different emitter libraries that are available for free download (current count is about 1000 emitters). Click here to go to the downloads page.
If you're not one of those who wants to do a lot of reading or searching, you can download all of the emitter libraries released to date in one file. Click here to download them all in one file.
After downloading emitter libraries (individually, or all in one file) you should unZip them into one folder somewhere, preferably the one where ShowIEL is located (although that isn't necessary). You then load them in ShowIEL by pressing the "L" key and selecting a file.
