The new environment physics and the particle physics options are such a good addition - it opens up so many possibilities
Thank you for addressing the Aux system replacement at the start of this video. I have been working with some older tutorials and that has been a sticking point for me.
thank you, you're a lifesaver with the AUX system thing, i was lost
When I hear him saying it's Harry frank I know it's going to be a good one
❤️
Very true, whenever I open a tutorial, there's an anticipation to hear these words "Hi folks, it Harry Frank here"
@@biographix thanks folks. This really means a lot to me. I really do want to get to making more motion graphics tutorials in 2021!
What an incredible tool. Your tutorials are the best, Harry Frank. You explain things so clearly, and in a way that opens up so many creative possibilities for users. Can't wait to dive into this new version of Particular.
Crazy! Now we need more specific tutorials and uses :))
Harry Frank is the master!! Such an amazing teacher!
this looks pretty good so far, good job guys! this is how you innovate
Thanks for this amazing helpful explain!
That looks simply amazing...
Love the bounce physics, I do agree with Jonas. It is noticeably slower than the last version
My first experience with this version is that it is very slow compared to the last
I´m literally crying!
I'm super disappointed right now, I upgraded Particular and was super excited to start learning all the new features. The first project I opened I was expecting the Migrate Settings to work (which has functioned fine in the past, and this time it said was "successful") and now everything I created is completely messed up. It's frustrating that I can't even see what settings I had BEFORE I hit the migrate button, because you don't have access to it. That would be a very helpful feature for the record, for instances like this where things do not migrate even remotely close to the original.
I’m having the same issues
Hi Nicole, so sorry you're having trouble with the upgrade! Please do get in touch with our Support Team at support@redgiant.com or via Live Chat and they'll be happy to sort this out for you.
Nicole if you don't get this worked out please get in touch with me @graymachine on twitter.
@@graymachine Thanks Harry, I appreciate that. I'm working with Red Giant support currently and sent them my project file so I can hopefully show what's happening.
Same here, migrating systems caused the whole setup to disappear my guess is that it's because the AUX system seems to have been removed. I don't understand why it was done away with entirely, is there any chance that a patch could give us the option to use legacy settings because right now it's looking like I would have to abandon these projects and rebuild them from scratch?
Harry Frank needs to do a masterclass.
Love this tutorial
Great one.
Hope to GOD this is more stable than the last version! Can't tell you how many times it crashed choosing a Particular preset.
That's no good! Please let us know what is causing you issues. Either to support or directly to me at my first name @ redgiant.com
The aux system doesn't work nicely when I make an emitter follow a motion path, like a tornado, but the 'streak' of my particles does not follow the motion path, it goes outwards...The old aux system was much more straightforward! What am I doing wrong?
It's hard to tell without looking more closely at your setup. You may need to adjust the velocity from emitter motion option.
Make a video how to find aux system. Please make it
This video is it. If you watch the full video, it shows you how to make a (much more powerful) aux system. Basically, the aux system is gone because it's been replaced by the ability for emitters to emit from other particles. So now, instead of the limited aux system, you have the full power of a Particular system AND you can emit from emitters that have emitted from emitters several levels deep if you wanted to.
You guys did an amazing training playlist for particular 3 that went in depth with each feature of particular. Will you be releasing a similar training playlist for this new version?
I'd say after the next major release, as things about to get crazy up in here.
Would have been nice to have a designer window of particular systems similar like Superluminal Stardust has, gives you way more flexibility.
My old projects mad with trapcode 15 looks different when I upgrade to the latest trapcode suit. Please help me to make the effects similar somehow.
有一个问题：particular中的文字预设，可以更改字的内容吗？如果不能，应该怎么使用那些文字特效？十分抱歉我不会使用英文提问。
1 question, where is the "position Subframe" option, i cant find any feature to do that, and now my moving path is just ugly linear, not curve path
Do you know where is aux system? In designer there is not.
No more aux system since u have more option with new particle system which allow u to do the same, but yep, it cant be migrate from old version anymore
@@amverror2245
So the aux system is split into several other particle system?
And what is the name of particle system that has the same use as aux system?
anyone notice that after effects uses a ton more memory after the update?
@redgiant migration threw off all my previous work settings , also the layer emitter no longer aligned with the center point of the track layer?? What is going on
same problem
I am using a moiton path to guide the particles to a vector shape. Is there a way to have them stick to a vector layer?? Any help would be appreciated!
You could use the flocking system for this. Make invisible prey particles spawn in your vector shape. Make predator particles spawn wherever you need them. Then, choose the option where both are killed on contact. Then, make a new system with no velocity that spawns from the predator particle system, but only spawns on parent "end of life".
I've noticed that my fluid sims are taking a lot longer to render since upgrading. Are you guys planning on improving the performance of fluids in the future?
We are always planning to improve performance! The fluid part of the code didn’t really change between the last version and this new one. Could you go into a bit more detail on what your slowdown is like? Also, do you have a particularly high particle count?
@@MaxonRedgiant I think the reason my fluid projects seemed slower was because I had the (Physics Time Factor) set to 6 which used to divide the life time of the particles by 6, but this is no longer the case. So my particles were being processed for 6 times longer which also meant 6 times the number of Aux particles. So until I figured this out and adjusted it to compensate, it initially seemed like the performance was several times worse. lol
@@CGVisualsVFX Good to know! Thanks for following up!
@@CGVisualsVFX In the previous version of Particular we had a separate Fluid Physics Time Factor from the time factor that was on each system. We now have just the one time factor to rule them all. The migration doesn't really know how to deal with that (because it is hard to know for sure how you, the user, might want to combine them into the new single value).
@@MaxonRedgiant Interesting I wasn't aware of that! I'm also hoping you can bring back (Velocity from motion) 1000% max instead of the current 100% cap, would that be as simply as just adding an extra zero to the code? ;)
The flocking doesn't seem to work with the latest version of Particular in the same way. Would love to see some updated tutorials that work. Very frustrating.
What seems to be the issue? We've added a little bit of features to flocking since its initial release, but nothing that should change its behavior drastically.
Black friday deal coming up??
Why cannot I find the emit from parent options ? using 5.0.1
Got an email from Maxon today about a new tutorial on new additions to flocking behaviors (evade) in Particular 6. Instead it links to this year old tutorial on what's new in Particular 5. : /
How odd. We've added new flocking behaviors since then, but the email should have linked to the newer tutorials!
Will my Custom Presets Break because of the aux system being removed???
Hi there! We took great care to make sure existing projects and presets will migrate over to Particular 5 properly, so you should be fine! If you're concerned, please reach out to our Support Team at support@redgiant.com.
@@MaxonRedgiant well dam thx
@@MaxonRedgiant Hey RedGiant I know this is Unrelated but I've recently updated Particular to version 5.0 but it doesn't show up in my Products with the serial number to confirm the license. whenever I go to the RedGiantApplicationMannager it says I have a partial license of Particular but still has a big X over the effect, I don't know what to do and it would be really nice if you could help me.
How can this be applied so that the exploding fireworks form a word?
My version is missing the grid dropdown 2:32 Please advise. I'm on the latest version. Making it a bit frustrating to follow along.
What version of Trapcode Particular are you using?
How can i understand air resistance property? I mean, if i use gravity then increase Air resistance this cause slow falling particles, but when i use wind the particles moving faster if i increase air resistance. so it has different happening. By the way, can you explain air resistance and air density? Thanks your team!
The air density behaves like it does in real life. If the air is denser, wind will have more of an effect on particles and the air will slow down the movement of gravity because it's thicker. You can read all about it in the Trapcode Particular user guide here help.maxon.net/rg/en-us/#html/trapcode-particular/environment.html
Hello can i use this plug in in after effect cc 2018?
How to convart primary system to master system?? ??
I am not able to find " AIR RESISTANCE ROTATIONAL " check box !! Anyone knows where is it ? Thanks
It's under Particle>Particle Physics now.
when i try to tie global physics time factor to audio key frame assistant particular stops displaying. also i just learned the old way for motion paths and now i have no clue how to do so. honestly i think unreal engine 5.1 would be less of a hassle and free.
Sorry you're having issues. To your first point, depending on what values you're mapping, it's possible that you're trying to go too far back in time so no particles are being emitted.
Motion Paths have moved to the Displace category. You can learn more here: help.maxon.net/rg/en-us/#html/trapcode-particular/displace-motion-path.html
@@MaxonRedgiant I tried older version maybe was that or needed a reinstall. It is working now ty.
Excuse me
Can you help me
I can not find Shading & Physics, Aux System in Particular (After effect 2021)
What's wrong with me ?
Those things have all been changed (and vastly improved). If you watch the video, these things are all explained.
Funny how after altering the particle type to sprite the performance crashed to 3 fps and never recovered in the rest of the demo.
yo dawg, I heard you like particles
The new aux system doesn't follow the parent system if it was using a motion path, sucks
We just tried it and it works for us. Please contact our support team so we can look into it for you.
Yes super now we need a computer who cost 20k when before we can work with a regular one THANKS seriously ....
The new AUX system is total trash ! I do not give a shit of your 16 aux what i care is doing my job FAST and do not crash 20000 times per hours.
reinstalling older version who work like a charm and do not destroy everything i do each 10 minutes!
*Warning* expensive, resource heavy plug-in. make sure your system can run it, check system preferences.
OFX support pls！
every time we learn some nice features you went and changed it or removed it. your updates move things around to different locations. this interrupts workflow and delay productions. very irritating.
Why is it so expensive? Red Giant is delusional... they act like someone could make an entire finished video out of just. ...... *particles* ? WTF are these effects even supposed to be for again?????
