After Effects: Trapcode Particular Intro
About the event
Course Details
Description:
Red Giant Trapcode Particular—an industry-standard particle generator—is one of the most important plugins for Adobe After Effects and part of the larger Trapcode Suite of tools. In this course, participants will learn how to create a basic emitter and particle system. They will also examine different kinds of emitters and particle attributes; discover how to create custom particles and multiple systems, as well as, how lights and cameras are integrated with particle systems.
Prerequisites:
This class is appropriate for intermediate level users that know some of the basics such as color correction, keying, effects, and simple animations. Experience with Photoshop or attendance of our Adobe Photoshop Intro class is recommended in order to get the most out of this class. Bringing samples of the kinds of projects that you’d like to be able to do is helpful but not required. We also recommend that you have the software installed before starting the class. You can purchase the software or obtain a trial version of it from the Adobe web site at www.adobe.com.
