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.
