I’ve just watched a great After Effects tutorial, made by my good friend, the great Peder Norby of Trapcode fame. He’s dome a wonderful job of teaching you how to get the best volumetric smoke effects using Particular.
I love this tutorial as it was totally improvised so it shows how he had to experiment to get the settings right. Check out his tutorial and if you don’t already own Particular, you can also download a free trial of Trapcode Particular from the Red Giant website so you can try it out.
I also stumbled upon a very kind and generous offer from Andrew Kramer at Video Copilot. Andrew is giving away 100 MB of stock footage free this month to say a big thanks to his followers. Nice one Andrew! 🙂
