GenArts has released particleIllusion for Nuke, a new version of its 2D particle effects tool for The Foundry’s industry-standard compositing package.

The tool offers a fast-rendering alternative to 3D particle systems, with over 3,000 preset effects. A new version for Sony’s Vegas editing software is also available.

particleIllusion for Nuke is available now for Nuke 6.3+ on Windows and Mac OS X. It costs $299.
