KinemaFX: A Kinematic-Driven Interactive System for Particle Effect Exploration and Customization
summary
KinemaFX presents a kinematic-driven pipeline that lets non-experts find and customize particle effects by combining graphical and texture intent, using LLMs to guide iterative search and composition. The system converts inputs and database instances into a unified semantic+kinematic structure via simulation and sampling, computes aligned distance metrics to return top-K matches, and supports temporal transforms and export. Evaluation uses an 800+ asset collection, an 16-participant user study, and shows effective, preference-guided exploration with LLM-guided search.
