PopcornFX Review

Aside from the editors within the engine plugins, PopcornFX also includes an external editor which allows the user more freedom with their particles.

PopcornFX, unlike a lot of other particle effects tools, is editable from a tree (a lot like layers in Photoshop) rather than a set of nodes. This removes a lot of complexity from editing your particles, while still retaining all the control you have with a node system.

PopcornFX comes with plugins for both Unity and the Unreal Engine, which cuts down on the workload of generating particle systems by allowing you to do them in-engine.
