Trapcode Particular is a module for generating 3D particle systems, indispensable for creating a variety of special effects, from realistic smoke and explosions to simulating the movement of various design elements. The user can set controls for the following properties: speed, size, shape, duration, transparency, trajectory, change, depth of field and motion blur. White clouds, shiny bubbles, dust particles, rain, falling snow, natural smoke or a flock of birds can all be created with Trapcode Particular. The solution supports the ability to explore from the inside of the created project thanks to the functions of rotation, three-dimensional navigation and the ability to fly through particles in the created virtual environment. The module supports 64-bit operating systems as well as After Effects CS5.

Trapcode Lux is a module for adding volumetric lighting effects to projects that require realistic spotlights, spotlights or lighting stages of all kinds. The solution is used to simulate the effect of light reflection in a semi-transparent medium, also known as “visible light”. This effect can be observed in cases where the air is not completely transparent, for example, on stage during a concert or on a foggy evening outside. Trapcode Lux automatically creates visible sources for all Point and Spot lights in the scene. The solution integrates with all levels of After Effects Light and automatically updates to reflect changes made to the scene in 3D space. Trapcode Lux provides fast rendering and cross-platform support.

RED GIANT TRAPCODE SUITE UPDATE
Trapcode Horizon is a 3D plugin for After Effects that is used to work with virtual studios and cameras. The module gives the composition a new look with a unique mapping tool, linking the After Effects camera to 3D space. By applying an image or gradients to the inside of a giant sphere, Trapcode Horizon creates an endless background. No matter where the camera is pointing, simple controls quickly create photorealistic backgrounds or sky gradients. The unique Trapcode Horizon module creates QuickTime VR events in After Effects and provides the ability to update the image with full control over 3D movement and camera field of view. Trapcode Form is a module for After Effects designed to create animation effects that include fire, smoke, sand, wind. Trapcode Form can create effects of any complexity – from text logos that are carried away by a gust of wind, to a 3D model of the Earth. The module includes more than 60 presets, each of which contains customizable parameters. Through integration with the 3D environment in After Effects, the user can fly the camera around animated shapes. Trapcode Form offers built-in audio reactors where a bass beat, tambourine or rhythmic voice track can control movement, color, transparency, displacement and other variables to create a visualization.

These are all kinds of 3D particle systems, complex motion graphics, volumetric light effects, organic 3D particle effects and much more. These tools from Red Giant let you efficiently manage titles, create animated backgrounds and logos, design visual effects and 3D objects right from the After Effects native interface. Red Giant Trapcode Suite is a powerful set of 11 plugins for Adobe After Effects that provide a wide range of motion graphics, animation and visual effects.
