Maxon Red Giant Trapcode Suite 16

Create organic 3D particle effects, complex motion graphics elements, and more. Give your motion graphics a stylized mid-century design aesthetic with a new collection of Atomic Age sprites. Also, Particular light emitters have received stunning performance optimizations, resulting in render speeds up to 3 times faster. Bring your motion graphics to life and use 3D objects for more beauty and complexity. Particular’s powerful physics engine includes new behaviours, forces, and environmental controls. Bring particles to life with flocking/swarming and predator/prey behaviours. Combine bounce and air physics or create beautiful fluid simulations for more realism than ever before. Particular now includes parent/child particle systems where a parent emitter can emit one or more complete child emitters. It’s also easy to set up long emitter chains to create beautifully complex cascading results. Choose from over 355 presets, designed to give you a head start. Every preset is fully customizable.

Create immortal particle grids and 3D particle objects. Build effects visually in the powerful Designer. Dissolve your particle objects in fluids or create complex fractal animations. Create stunning motion graphics with 3D models, text, masks, and animated OBJ sequences. Drive animation with sound and dissolve text and logos. The form uses the After Effects 3D camera and lights and is GPU-accelerated. Use any image in your composition as a particle by assigning it to a 2D sprite or textured polygon. The form includes over 345 still and animated sprite images, easily loaded directly within After Effects or in the Designer via the Sprite Loading Panel. Run realistic fluid simulations with the new Dynamic Fluids physics engine, allowing forms to interact and influence each other for stunning results. Choose from over 150 presets that are all individually customizable.

Create 3D objects, fractal surfaces, terrains, and wireframes in After Effects. Design flowing surfaces and abstract shapes for motion graphics or import 3D geometry from Cinema 4D files. Replicate and fractally distort your Mir surfaces and display them as polygons or vertices. Trapcode Mir makes it simple to texture, light, repeat, and deform your models as part of your scene. Choose from 16 surface presets, designed to give you a head start in setting up the materials, shaders, and textures for different surface styles. Every preset is fully customizable.

Create organic 3D shapes and lines from your masks. Logos, text, and paths take on lives of their own. 3D Stroke preset shapes give you starting points. Get pinpoint control over shapes, colours, looping, and more. Also, compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, 3D Stroke facilitates the creation of lines that can glow, taper, and flow through 3D space using simple paths that are made to look beautifully complex.

Create ultra-fast 3D light ray effects with Trapcode Shine. Design volumetric light rays for your text, motion graphic, or footage. Simulate clean rays or fractal smokiness with depth and bring light and life into your motion graphics and VFX. Give your footage the natural effect of sunshine through clouds, headlights in fog, or underwater light rays. Shine also works within Adobe Premiere Pro and includes a host of features for creating 3D camera-aware volumetric effects.

Create stylized multicoloured or monochrome glints and glows for motion graphics and text. Add glimmer to your highlights with 49 presets that are fully customizable and easy to use for eight different directional points, colour maps, shimmer, gradients, and streak length.

Instant audio-driven motion graphics in After Effects with Trapcode Sound Keys. Visualize your audio for motion graphics and use any audio to drive animation and effects. With Sound Keys, you can isolate audio bands for total control. Select parts of an audio track in the visual spectrum and convert them into keyframes, syncing footage with audio using amplitude or frequency ranges.

Create 3D geometries animated along a path and generate geometric shapes from masks, paths, and motion. Tao quickly generates procedural 3D geometries using built-in auto paths, mask shapes, and the motion from After Effects 3D lights.

Create 3D volumetric points and spotlights and add drama and realism to your 3D compositions. The effect is fully AE 3D camera aware, with control over intensity, falloff, and more.

Instantly clone and offset animated layers. Automate complex, multilayered 3D animation with ease and control layer instances without writing expressions. With EchoSpace, you can create dynamic 'falling domino' or 'follow-the-leader' animations.

Create infinite (360°) backgrounds for After Effects 3D and use image maps or create a multicolour gradient. Horizon is fully After Effects 3D camera aware.
