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. Create write-on effects by controlling the reveal of particles along mask paths. Create write-on effects by controlling the reveal of particles along text paths.įor the first time ever, use masks as an emitter, making it simple to create uniquely shaped emitters or to use parts of an image as the source of particle emissions. Emitters in Multi-system setups can share parameter settings (such as turbulence, gravity, and more), and can be saved as a single preset.įor the first time ever, use text as an emitter, speeding up the creation process dramatically from previous versions. Create beautiful, complex effects through the interaction of different systems, all within one instance of Particular. Preview your particle layout with camera and emitter position controlsįor the first time ever, explore endless creative possibilities when you combine multiple particle systems in the same 3D space. New in Particular 3, the Designer respects the AE comp size, bringing in the composition and camera info. The designer gives instant visual feedback, making the building and previewing of effects an intuitive and creative experience. 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. 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. Choose from 4 customizable fluidic behaviors. Or add complete, customizable particle effects with a single click.Ĭreate dynamic, swirling effects with the new Dynamic Fluids physics engine, which 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. Trapcode Elements uses Fluid Dynamics to achieve most of the Fire and Air simulations, all of the projects have been carefully optimized and include proxy simulations that can be toggled in place of the main effect to dramatically speed up your workflow.Creating particle effects is easier than ever before, in the updated Designer. Please note that this product is not yet compatible with Trapcode Particular V5. Red Giants Trapcode Particular version 4.1 (Fluid Dynamics) is also required. Trapcode Elements is fully compatible with CC 2014, CC 2017, and CC 2018 or later. Perfectly optimized and filled with potential, it’s time to look inward, forge your own path and ask yourself… what do you want to create? Trapcode Elements is a feature-rich plugin that offers an expansive library of realistic pyro, liquid, volume, and fluid-based shelf tools. With over 50 unique… and highly customizable projects… the only limit… is your imagination. Wield powerful procedurally generated effects and watch them render in an instant. Trapcode Elements gives you the power to produce high-quality dynamic simulations, custom 3D assets, and integrate them into your live-action footage with unlimited possibilities! Master the elements like never before and bring your ideas to life. Create custom animations on the fly with simplified control rigs, user-friendly guide layers, and fast preview proxy simulations that make editing easier than ever. Effortlessly composite these effects into your scene with easy to use controls allowing you to customize the perspective, lighting, and preset post-processing effects. For the first time ever use Trapcode Particular to create stunning 3D bodies of water, procedural rock formations, pyrotechnic effects, and volumetric wind forces. Trapcode Elements is a unique collection of over 50 projects for creating realistic water, earth, fire, and air simulations directly inside of After Effects.
