The Particle Universe plugin is a particle engine developed in C++, which can be used as a plugin in Ogre, the open source 3D renderering engine. Create your own amazing effects using the advanced scripting possibilities and make use of the supplied presets and samples. The Particle Universe package includes an Editor, a plugin, API description and a Manual that helps you to easily create explosions, smoke, rain, snow, blood squibs, fire and more.

For references in which games it has already been used, have a look at the media section on the plug-in's homepage.

Note: Particle Universe isn't for free any more, but 9.95€ is a really fair price for such a great and complete package.
