About Trapcode Suite
Trapcode Suite brings the power of 3D particle systems right into After Effects. Use particle emitters to create fire, water, smoke, snow and other organic visual effects, or create technological marvels and user interfaces with immortal particle grids, text and 3D forms. Combine multiple particle systems into one unified 3D space and design emitters that emit full emitters for creating visually stunning results. With GPU acceleration, Trapcode plugins help you get beautiful results fast. Trapcode Suite includes a physics engine with powerful behaviors, forces and environmental controls. Particular brings particles to life with new flocking/swarming and predator/prey behaviors, and adds more realism with combined bounce and air physics. Particular and form both include the ability to create organic fluid simulations where particle systems interact with beautiful results.

If you program games using the powerful Blitzmax programming language, you can also use the effects directly using the TimelineFX Module. Create an endless amount of different and varied particle effects including explosions, smoke, fire, water, steam, bubbles, and much more! Animations can be easily configured to loop seamlessly with just one click of the mouse, and with another click, you can even make animations tile seamlessly too for use as animated textures. Including smoke, fire, explosions, water, flares, clouds and much more! Plus, we also have plenty of free effects for you to download. Particle emitters have 24 attributes to control your effects with precision using graphs to draw their behaviour overtime.
