Particle Art

Particle Art is a simple app you can use to generate artwork using particles, depending on the location, number and strength of attractors.

Specially made for desktops, tablets, notebooks and laptops running Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, the tool can be used for creating desktop wallpapers, for instance.

Just like all other trusted Metro apps, Particle Art can be seamlessly downloaded and installed from the Windows Store. It launches an initially black canvas that you can switch to fullscreen mode and populate with attractors. To do this, right-click somewhere on the screen and select Add attractors.

All attractors are added to the same place, but you can click and drag one item at a time to place it in the desired position on the canvas. The currently selected attractive is labelled with red and the others with blue. Double-click an attractor to adjust its force by moving a slider (ranging from -1000 to 1000, default is 1000).

It's also possible to remove attractors from the canvas if you change your mind. For additional options, click the burger button on the upper-left corner of the window, select Settings, then App settings. You can change the emitter position, start point and size along with the number of particles, as well as invert colors.

Once you're done tinkering with options, click Start to generate the particle artwork, then hide the attractors. If you're pleased with the results, you can save the bitmap to PNG file format by specifying the destination and file name. Keyboard shortcuts are supported and can be viewed by clicking Help.

All things considered, Particle Art is an easy-to-use and fun application for generating particle artwork from attractors by configuring settings.
