Slider Revolution Particle Wave GPL v7.1.1

Slider Revolution Particle Wave GPL Overview

A particle effect is an automated animation technique that takes lots of small images (particles) and gives them movement and color in a way that can generate all kinds of beautiful visual effects.

For example, you could take images of a circle and a snowflake:
Then you could use them as particles, and create a beautiful snowfall visual effect:

Using particle effects you can create everything from star fields to wavy oceans to abstract backgrounds.

In this guide, we’ll learn how to get started with the Particle Effects addon

and integrate particle effects into your modules

Getting Started- Slider Revolution Particle Wave GPL

Before you start making particle effects you’ll first need to install and enable the Particle Effects addon.

The process for doing this is the same as with all addons, so please begin by following the steps laid out in our guide on how to Browse, Install and Enable Addons.

Activate Per Slide
After installing and enabling the Particle Effects addon, you’ll also need to activate it within the module you’re designing.

Because of the fact you might want particles on some slides

and not others, particle effects are activated on a per slide basis.

For each slide on which you want to use particle effects, go to the Slide Options tab, then the Particle Eff. sub-section, and in the General Settings panel set the Active option to ON:

with a single click.

Particle Settings Panel-Slider Revolution Particle Wave GPL

After activating particle effects for a slide, you’ll see a new panel appear named Particle Settings:

All the configuration options for the slide’s particle effects are available within this panel.

For a full guide on working with the options in this panel check out the next page of the manual: Customizing Particle Effects

Using the Slider Revolution Particle Wave GPL Library

The Particle Effects Library can be found at the top of the Particle Settings panel:
Click to expand the library and you will see it contains an area for ready-made particle effects, named Default Presets, and an area in which you can save your own Custom Presets:

Applying Presets:
To apply a particle effect preset all you need to do is expand either Default Presets or Custom Presets, then click the name of the preset you want to use:

Note: Particle effects can be white, black, or multi-colored. If you’re just exploring presets to see how they look you might not see them if they’re the same color as your background. To ensure you can see the effect it will help if you add a slide background image or color for it to contrast against.

You also won’t see the particle effect in action on the canvas. To see how it looks you should save and preview the module:

You’ve just seen how easy it is to apply pre-made particle effects with a single click. However, you can carry on from there and customize a particle effect’s color, shapes, movement, interaction, and a whole lot more.

Learn how to leverage all the available ways to make particle effects your own on the next page, Customizing Particle Effects.
