Pro Particles - Advanced Particle System

Pro Particles uses an external GPU simulation engine, and version 5 moves the simulation core to GPU compute. The solver architecture for large particle counts, fluids, granular materials, collisions, and logic workflows is built around GPU processing. Because of this dependency, the developer offers a limited technical-evaluation demo so you can test the workflow and confirm system compatibility before purchase. The external GPU simulation engine binaries are provided for supported platforms, so checking your hardware against the demo is the recommended way to verify Pro Particles runs on your setup.

Pro Particles offers a limited technical-evaluation demo intended to test the workflow and system compatibility before purchase. The demo caps particle count at 25k, runs only 120 simulation frames, and includes no export features. It also ships with demo files to explore and learn from, and a demo video is available as well. Since Pro Particles relies on an external GPU simulation engine, this evaluation build is the way to confirm the toolkit behaves correctly on your hardware before committing to the full version.

Pro Particles includes a rebuilt granular solver with ready-to-use material presets for sand, snow, gravel, clay, mud, and soil. The solver supports stable piles, wet clumps, brittle breakup, sleeping, warm starting, and persistent contacts. Version 5 rebuilt this granular material solver as part of its full GPU simulation rewrite. These presets and behaviors give a starting point for granular effects, and they can be combined with the toolkit's collisions, forces, color, and logic within the same simulation workflow in Blender.

Pro Particles is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms, check the developer's page from CG_Flow before you download. The developer notes that existing customers receive the version 5 major update at no additional cost. The toolkit also provides a limited technical-evaluation demo with a 25k particle cap, 120 simulation frames, and no export features, which lets you test workflow and system compatibility. Reviewing that demo and the developer's page together is the clearest way to understand what each option provides.

Pro Particles 5 introduces a full GPU simulation rewrite, moving the simulation core to GPU compute. The update includes a rebuilt granular material solver, stronger collision handling, expanded noise workflows, deterministic logic randomness, and improved fluid dynamics. The v5 contact solver improves sliding and reduces artificial bounce energy, while Turbulence, Curl Noise, and Advanced Color gain selectable procedural noise types. Existing customers receive this major update at no additional cost. GPU shader warmup with compile progress and improved disk cache playback and baking are also part of the release.
