A desktop application for creating visual effects for Skyrim.

To provide a simple, convenient interface for creating and editing visual effects directly in the NetImmerse format.

Currently the only practical use of the program is the creation of particle systems with basic modifiers (simple force fields, colour, rotation, scale). If that's all you want, no other tools are needed. The program outputs fully functional nif files. Alternatively, you can load existing nif files and attach or edit particle systems. Some files may fail to load. Others may break. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING A FILE.

Windows Vista or later

To install, extract the archive to any location on your computer. To uninstall, simply delete it.

To make a functional particle system (minimal example): Add a Particle system. Connect it (click and drag the little circles) to the Root (Children-Parent). Add an Effect Shader. Connect it to the Particle system (Targets-Shader). Add an Emitter (any type). Connect it to the Particle system (Target-Modifiers) and to the Root (Emitter object-References). In the Emitter, set any nonzero Birth rate, Life span and Size. Save the file and you will have a nif emitting plain white squares in game.

Refer to the Help menu (or "block types.txt") for an explanation of the blocks and their properties.
