Alright folks -

Here’s another tutorial I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I see people struggling with Particular’s emitter position controls, so I figured I’d pass a long a few things that will make your life easier…

WARNING: Objects in tutorial image are a lot more interesting than they appear!

So, in this Episode, we’ll look at some very useful techniques for Trapcode Particular that will give you better control of emitter position in 2D and 3D. You’ll also learn how to capture the motion of your mouse (or stylus) to control emitter position.

You can watch it here.

Got a new tutorial for you, folks – Creating a Looping Particle System.

OK, some of you have probably been following my work for a while and know that I already did a looping particles tutorial at Creative Cow. But this is much more in depth and covers both creating looping particle systems and creating looping particle shapes using Trapcode Particular’s custom settings. You can find that tutorial here.

We’ll also use some of these techniques in a later tutorial… (more…)
