Realistic though the effects are, you will fool few people in this FX-savvy age. You might be able to add a subtle bit of fog here or there, but you can forget about using the smoke and fire plug-ins to convincingly incinerate your Toyota. If you don't feel the need to be constrained by reality, Delirium gives you an expansive set of high-quality tools. The $695 price tag is not cheap, but these effects are a good value for a professional's toolbox. Depending on your rates, you might be able to get Delirium to pay for itself with just one 10-second corporate logo or it may be just what you need to make a client gasp and clinch a contract.
