On behalf of Lynda.com, my name is Chad Perkins. That's what I look like right there, and I'll be your humble host and author throughout this training series. Trapcode Particular is one of the best and most popular After Effects plug-ins available today, as well it should be. It renders so fast and looks so beautiful and has so many amazing features, it really is one of the most versatile tools in the After Effects arsenal. Now Particular can be a tough cookie to master. When you first apply it, it doesn't look all that amazing.
Temple Of The Sky God Pdf. In this course, veteran author and animator Chad Perkins explores Trapcode Particular, an industry-standard third-party Adobe After Effects plugin for generating. Learn how to create awesome fireworks effects in Adobe After Effects using the Trapcode Particular particle plugin.
But have no fear, my friends. Throughout The course of this training series, we are going to make Particular jump up and dance. We're gonna start with an introductory project just to get you comfortable with Particular, and we're going to be creating some fog that we will use as an alpha mat for some animated text. We'll then back up a little bit and just learn about Particular. We'll • Practice while you learn with exercise files. Watch this course anytime, anywhere.

There are a few basic controls for just about any particle system. Birth rate controls the number of particles (particles per second). Velocity controls how fast they move when they are born (roughly pixels per second) lifespan controls how long the live (usually in seconds). So if you want a whole lot of particles all at once, animate the birth rate from a large amount to 0 over a few frames.
If you want them to move slowly, set a low velocity. O Dark Thirty Ep there. To set how long they are visible, set the lifespan accordingly.
With particular you can also set the opacity over life for the particles, so they could slowly fade away. Or you could set the size over life to slowly decrease in size.
Also, there is a random setting for lifespan that will make the particles not all die at the same time. If you needed to, you can increase the size of the emitter, but you'll need to change the emitter type from 'point' to 'box' or something that has dimension to it, then set the size in the size properties. This way the particles aren't coming from a tiny point, but from a larger volume or plane. Kevin Camp Senior Designer KCPQ, KMYQ & KRCW. Thanks again, Walter. I've been struggling for two days to find the answer to something and, again, your answer from 5 years ago helped me even today. This physics part as a way to slow down Particular was exactly what I needed (and didn't realize that physics could be used to slow down or even go backwards in time).
