TimelineFX has a neat little application for creation of 2D Particle Effect sprites that runs on OSX and Windows. Enabling quick creation and editing of particle effects via their impressive GUI or the ‘Blitzmax’ programming language, the results can easily be exported to PNG sequences for use in whatever you need.
Create an endless amount of different and varied particle effects including explosions, smoke, fire, water, steam, bubbles, and much more! Animations can be easily configured to loop seamlessly with just one click of the mouse, and with another click, you can even make animations tile seamlessly too for use as animated textures.
