Trapcode Particular

Examples

This video illustrates Particular's ability to produce both the fireworks and the resulting smoke effects.

Use Particular to create realistic fireworks displays.

This example shows using the Smokelet particle type to simulate flying through clouds. Turn left and right by keyframing the camera's Rotation Z property — the rest is done with expressions. If you'd like to fly more through the clouds, try decreasing the Wind Y value.

It's all an illusion, of course! The camera is in fact standing still and the particles are driven towards the camera using Physics>Wind. The sky is created with a simple After Effects Ramp on a 2D layer that is expressed to rotate with the camera.

This title treatment, inspired by Sex in the City the Movie, uses a lot of our products. Trapcode Form generates the lights on the text, while Trapcode Particular makes the glints from the lights. Red Giant Warp creates the reflection, and Knoll Light Factory Pro creates the camera flashes.

This motion graphics background uses Trapcode Particular for the particles. It uses Magic Bullet Looks to create the green colorization, the glow, the blur, and the vignette.

This shot, inspired by Star Wars the Arcade Game (circa 1983), used Red Giant PlaneSpace in setting up the 3D elements (ship, asteroids), Red Giant Text Anarchy for the text elements, and Trapcode Particular for the explosions and stars.
