Disintegration

Trapcode Particular used to disintegrate a layer.

There are a few pre-comps that makes this possible. The "exploder" layer is used as a Layer Emitter in the main comp. As you can see it reveals a small part of the text and travels from left to right. From this area particles are emitted.

The "hider" layer is simply the text gradually hidden.

Bounce mode is enabled and setup to use a floor only.

Is there a step-by-step tutorial that explains how all of these elements work?
