Monday, October 31, 2011 at 7:28PM Tutorial showing how to create a scene in Cinema 4D and export an OBJ and Cinema's camera. And import all this in Adobe After Effects so the Cinema render perfectly matches Trapcode Form.
Sorry for my poor C4D skillz!
Note that you need Trapcode Form 2.0.2 to get the "Normalize" checkbox used here.
Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 2:35AM I was watching this pretty cool video of how some of the fire effects were created in Kung Fu Panda 2 using After Effects and Particular (link). After a lot of watching i figured out how it was made and set about recreating the effect - which I think came out really well.
As a lot of people were interested in it, I thought I'd share the AE file - it is made in After Effects CS5 using Trapcode Particular.

Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 11:40PM Just testing some smoke elements as sprites with Particular in AE - there are interesting possibilities here!
These were quick initial tests. Could be improved by keying the smoke in the pre-comp if it needs to be composited on top of something.
Thanks to Andrew Kramer for posting the smoke clips! Get them here.

Very inspiring and informative tutorial by Andrew Kramer of Video Copilot. It covers 3D camera tracking (using The Foundry's CameraTracker AE plug-in), matte painting, masking, color correction, sky replacement and uses Trapcode Particular for the fog/smoke. Highly recommended!
