This project should give a "basic" introduction to all filters and their key features, except for Particle World (PW is covered in it's own project), and is a good companion to the CycoreFX HD Manual. The Particle World project can also be used as a more in depth guide for all particle system since they have a lot of controls in common. This project covers all new filters and shows how to use Particle Systems II to replace the PS Classic filters, we've recreated the animations that was done using the standard CycoreFX version.

These two project shows how animated "sprites" can be used as particle textures in Particle World. In this case we've created a swarm of butterflies that casts shadows.
