Entries in Particular v2 (5)
Getting Started with Trapcode Particular
An awesome five-part series of tutorials on Trapcode Particular. These are geared towards the new users, but is a great watch also for the experienced.
Frozen in time

Some experiments. Using a Light Emitter driven by a wiggle expression. Aux particles trails. Frozen in time using Physics Time Factor.

A little experiment - Shadow mapping Particular Objects
Here's a little test I did while working out how to create shadows for Particular layers.
It uses a duplicate of the main comp to create a "Shadow version" of it, with the camera in the shadow comp linked via expressions to the light source in the master comp. I'll post the AEP on my site if anyone wants to play with it - at http://www.digitaldistortion.net/rsrc_particularShadow.html
Particular v2 - Massive

Download AE CS3: AEP
Eight pre-made comps with Trapcode Particular v2 using massive amounts of particles. Download the AEP and play with the settings! There are seven extra comps in there as well - so 15 comps all-in-all! + one edit for benchmarks. Uses Trapcode Lux, Form and Horizon in some comps.
The massive amounts of particles are generated using the Aux system which is a function that allows emitting particles from particles. The Aux particles create trails from the main particles. These are then in turn affected using different things like gravity, turbulence etc.
Took me 45 mins to render the "edit" comp (consisting of eight comps, 47 secs in total) using my MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. What's your render time and hardware?
How about hooking up Emitter Position to Sound Keys? Could be worth a try!
