This project contains two comps. The first, called Heart, uses a heart shape mask layer in the precomp with Hue/Sat applied. There are wiggle expressions on the Hue and Saturation to give some variance in the color.
The second, which is the main comp, has some text that wipes on using a linear wipe. The […]

I never cease to be amazed at the flexibility of Trapcode Particular. Just when you think you’ve maxed it out, someone else gives you another idea.
Although I did create this preset, it is largely inspired by the trapcode-people.net preset “Gridsurface 4D Fractal” (I believe made by Peder Norrby, I could be wrong).
The […]
I really enjoy astronomy and keep an eye to the sky. This week is the Geminid meteor shower and today Space Weather is reporting that a “coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth today at approximately 1400 UT, and the impact may cause strong geomagnetic storms.” You know what that means? Auroras!
Sadly, I’ve lived in Michigan […]
Yet another use for Particular! Can you tell we all love Trapcode Particular here at the freemart?
This project uses a “Layer Grid” emitter the references a composition where you can place whatever picture you want. The result is this sort of “Half-tone” effect you see here.
The trick is to go into the “Options” section of […]
Like most people, I sit around playing with trigonometry and how it can be integrated into animation. Take this example here. This uses Trapcode Particular to generate some simple particles, but the emitters are multiple sources rotating about a Null object in various circular paths using Sine and Cosine. For example, this animation […]
If you dig the Trapcode plug-ins (and who doesn’t?), you should definitely check out trapcode-people.net. It’s a bajillion free presets and projects utilizing Trapcode plug-ins of various flavors….
Like this really cool one here, done by yours truly. This file requires Trapcode Particular and CC Hair. CC Hair is used to create the grass particle. […]
Here’s a swirling confetti effect made with Trapcode Particular.
This effect would be a good one for birthdays, Christmas videos, and change the colors for some Halloween magic.
As you probably know, Harry and I are both big fans of Particular. It’s an easy to use and an inexpensive tool! Don’t have Trapcode Particular? Download a free […]
Jean Hauptman has an interesting article Sculpting with Particular: Particle system for After Effects. Looks pretty kewl. I’ve played with Particular like this before too. Maybe I should post some of that here, eh.
Another from Toolfarm’s old Freebie of the Week…
This is a mesmerizing and trippy project by Harry Frank, Toolfarm Expert Forums Expert and all-around creative guy. Okay, so it isn’t technically a preset, but who cares. It’s free and it’s cool and it uses one of our favorite plug-ins, Trapcode Particular.
Harry says, Trapcode’s Particular is a […]
