In this course, veteran author and animator Chad Perkins
explores Trapcode Particular, an industry-standard Adobe
After Effects plugin for generating particle effects.
After exploring the menu structure, basic operations,
and some key tips and tricks, the course tackles a series

and animation tasks that motion graphics or VFX artists
can create, such as camera flashes, smoke, sparks, or
even a flock of birds.

Understanding the Particular paradigm
Working with different emitter types
Understanding the curve-drawing interface
Animating the emitter's position
Adjusting the particles' life span
Using custom particles
Using Particular's auxiliary particles
Integrating the After Effects lights and cameras
