Reflection MapsĬreate dynamic color changes in your textured polygon particles by using layer as a reflection map. Particular 3’s updated Aux system now includes the ability to add custom particles for even more variation, as well as keyframable parameters for more control. Create organic trails and branching, or build splashes after a bounce. Spawn new child particles through Particular’s Aux system. Includes wind, gravity, turbulence controls and more for simulating complex, realistic motion. Move particles organically through the air, or bounce off of other layers, with Particular’s physics engine. Shading can emulate light falloff, and Shadowlet rendering can cast shadows on both main and aux particles. Shade all particle types from lights in After Effects. Particular 3 now includes over 270 still and animated sprite images, easily loaded directly within After Effects or in the Designer via the new Sprite Loading Panel. Use any image in your composition as a particle by assigning it to a 2D sprite or textured polygon. Choose from Particular’s library of over 60 OBJs, or easily load your own models using the new OBJ Loading Panel directly in After Effects or within the Designer. For added flexibility, you can choose to emit particles from the vertices, edges, faces or volume of your OBJ file. Give your particle systems a new dimension by using 3D models and animated OBJ sequences as particle emitters. Emitters in Multi-system setups can share parameter settings (such as turbulence, gravity and more), and can be saved as a single preset. Create beautiful, complex effects through the interaction of different systems, all within one instance of Particular. Multiple Systemsįor the first time ever, explore endless creative possibilities when you combine multiple particle systems in the same 3D space. Learn More ARTIST: ZOS Mir Terrains Design realistic or alien landscapes using Trapcode Mir’s fractal displacement mapping. Particular uses After Effects’ 3D Camera and Lights so you can fully integrate your particle Effects with your motion graphics and live-action vfx shots. Trapcode Mir is a plugin for After Effects that creates flowing surfaces, endless tunnels, terrains and 3D objects for use in your motion graphics. Depending on your system and setup, you could see speed boosts of up to 4X or more over previous versions. Get fast feedback with Trapcode Particular’s new GPU Acceleration through OpenGL. Save your own presets, and share them across your facility. Explore the library to find beautifully designed effects for creating fluids, fire, spaceflight, fireworks, muzzle flashes, explosions, smoke and more. Particular 4 includes over 35 new presets that show off powerful features like fluid dynamics and more. Hit the ground running with over 335 fully-customizable Designer presets. Choose from 4 customizable fluidic behaviors. Or add complete, customizable particle effects with a single click.Ĭreate dynamic, swirling effects with new physics options that allows particles to behave as if they are moving through real fluids. Add adjustable blocks with preset behaviors and styles for emitters, particles, physics and aux particles. Creating particle effects is easier than ever before, in the updated Designer.
