WHAT’S NEW IN TRAPCODE SUITE 15.1
TRAPCODE PARTICULAR 4.1
Create organic 3D particle effects, complex motion graphics elements and more with Red Giant Trapcode Particular 4.1.
New Features in Particular 4.1 Include:
- Text Emitters – Use text as an emitter, speeding up the creation process dramatically from previous versions. No precomping required. Create write-on effects by controlling the reveal of particles along text paths.
- Mask Emitters – Use masks as an emitter, making it simple to create uniquely shaped emitters or to use parts of an image as the source of particle emissions. No precomping required. Create write-on effects by controlling the reveal of particles along mask paths.
- Updated Designer – New in this version is support for text and masks, making it possible to create text and mask path-based effects directly in the Designer.
- Shadowlet particle type matching – Match the shadowlet shape to the particle type for shadowing that matches the source. Previously, all shadowlets were circular.
- Shadowlet softness – Control the softness of your shadowlet.
- Presets – 21 new presets have been added to give you instant results and help you get started with new features. There are now over 355 presets included with Particular.
TRAPCODE FORM 4.1
Create immortal particle grids and 3D particle objects in After Effects with Red Giant Trapcode Form 4.1.
New Features in Form 4.1 Include:
- Text Forms – Use text as a base form, speeding up the creation process dramatically from previous versions. No precomping required. Also includes options for write-on effects that control where along the text paths particles are created.
- Mask Forms – Use masks as a base form, making it simple to create forms with the After Effects mask/path tools, or to use parts of an image as the source of the form. No precomping required. Create write-on effects by controlling the reveal of particles along mask paths.
- Updated Designer – New in this version is support for text and masks, making it possible to create text and mask path-based effects directly in the Designer.
- Shadowlet particle type matching – Match the shadowlet shape to the particle type for shadowing that matches the source. Previously, all shadowlets were circular.
