Yeah, hi everybody. So let's talk a little bit more complex plugins where the bunch of settings that maybe are not understandable even by founders of the plan. So instead of the analysis step by step because nobody gets my anything, I will choose another strategy. I will tell you about one of the most probable approach of studying such a plug, or no, it can be a strategy of all design that is based on skills, techniques. Before you start to study any plugin or program we check what it can do and what you can do with it. In mastery.

I applaud it to tap code and check it in and try to find something that I would fall in love. Star Black Star Trek By looking less, so my next step was to find the borders of plugging in paste branches, not to waste my time to doing it in next time. Other net to study added to the roles of other guys that describe trapcode. For me, I think the most closer look, Andrew grammar had some time ago, he was popular in lines and other stuff of his lessons are pretty steady and the fact that they are in English, I don't care. And I hope you all know there are a few guys in the internet that are good in this plugin, and do the lessons quite better than the most part of the content created by trapcode. So check them studied and deal with it.

Now I'm going to describe you the simple steps while he is in trapcode. In the next part of the lesson we will call stardust. But a bit later, I think that Stardust had failed among users because the Giants Companies push it in K cells and manage this same problem that Newton has seems that they know how to do it better, but they don't want to create a good improper content. I think that even grammar was offered to make literal videos of God Kimani. But oh no, it's usually a stretch. But I think that we, you and me, I mean, designers should decide what plugin will be the most popular and the most often used.

Who knows, maybe in nearest future earthen change, and Stardust will be made as a household name. Let's start from the short overview. You've started with the type of amateur, the thing that will give birth to particles. nothing difficult, usually is a point by default or box and it's a cohort that you can link the point of the particles birth to the amateur, I mean that the particles will be born from the light source. It's very convenient when you need to create an advertisement video for your company, but you have no idea. But you can think bigger, use the mask bow behind the directory and write a difficult tags using this stuff or do complex movements of the particles.

Of course, you can tune it to better customize the gap of the status of the particles like velocity or, for example, the particles may have an impulse of moment is in the main part of more upper level to use trip code is to select the air as an amateur in the third version, you can even use optical objects as an amateur waited, but sorry, it's too late. Das has done it a bit earlier. Yes, sure. It's a cool option. When again, select your own layer, you can animate it's disappearing and in those parts where you have a text, the particles will be bore and will that so It's a cool fact for burning Texas or logos or something like that. But the question of for turistic effects of smoke and fire is open more often I don't need to realize the most part of the fire or smoke in the big commerce projects by trapcode Yes sure, the right example like flame flowers for example, but here as the main particle, the real footage of why was chosen.

So it is a combination. Most often trim cut is used to add 10 details into the existing footage of fire or fire simulation in 3d program. So all of these top will disappear in logos from fire or burner logos. It is just for kids or beginners. It's better not to embrace yourself. But if you make a video for weddings, and you need to create a DVD video, so it is Good, everybody will love attention.

Don't forget that we are motion designers but not compilers. So we understood any HIPAA tropical objects, I mean, the fire will be not look like a fire, but close it to like a plasma, or it can be kind of energy alive that is, isn't the grade, but trapcode particular. So let's turn to particles, the thought that I'd like to say is that you can tune random values of particles. And it's cool, I mean that these settings like size, it can see says random, it means that the particles will be random in their sense of purpose, it can be also random. And these two settings are enough to create different particles into cliques. Nice.

So you can choose the type of particles usually I use sphere, that is by default, all cloudlet like clouds or like cookies, the most cool thing is that you can Use your own particle instead of regular bar default one and often use it as you can imagine, also in the top physics, there is a top air. And the most important thing that that both Stardust and trapcode have is turbulence killed. I mean the influence of the air flows on the particles. The most useful for me tab is called effect position. When you increase the value, you add the power of turbo, of course, you can turn on the light or put it inside the amateur to eliminate the particles in space but usually it is for for turistic image or the image that will be close to reality. But as for me, I didn't do it by trap code.

So this top shading I used pretty rare. There are not so many settings inside and you can easily check advice how this top is actually have your computer's okay. So, these are the basic stuff, you can create an emulator, you can select your own layer as an emitter. Also, you can create your own particles and change the default one to your personal one, you can turn the light if you wanted. Then add any values of air flows and turbulence that will affect to your particles. And plus, you can do a trick.

For example, when you created 100 particles, and the trick is that your every particle can give birth to another one. So there is a tablet help that helps you to do it. The main difference that interrupt code, the particles will give birth of same particles and stardust. You can change the form of particles that will come from the main one. And it's good to create more complex compositions. I would like to say you that you shouldn't forget that after effects is just a tool.

Yes, of course, it's very cool that you can create a simulation and other stuff by after packs. But there are top projects of particles and again believe that it was just recorded and after composed using After Effects. A good example is it the guys have paint pressed into the Boulder. And with the help of special equipment, they created a boost of this paint out of the floor. Yes, of course. And they got Acosta Of course, you will need high quality camera to shoot such stuff.

But all I know, even Andrew grammer has a nice tutorial video of the same fact that can create a trip called shine. But by using a torch and smoke, I think that it's more interesting than mess around with settings of like. Yes, there is two different ways that can solve the same problem. And if you want to create something, you will find the solution annual rate. More or less. You will release your projects just don't taste to stab the paper.

Just like Batman or something really bad VC messed up and shaky. Don't say that about Michael J. Fox. Those times when I worked at the one production production studio, I was kidding that everything could be graded but trapcode and still, I have good feedback. Hey, dude. Okay, do this using trapcode Oh no, it can be even more in more ways and produce manifestos that you can match hand detect trap code easily.

For example, in property when the strangers were running like a garage, it is great, but also one of the last example, rapid Sanders. There are a lot of problems that upgrade in both port. But I don't know where else it can be used books have post production of movies, or for example, X ray brothers mental pricey watch or a car. Sometimes it is used for mapping because it is hard to use in 3d simulations. So fakes top is welcome here, enter code is welcome to mad emotion design. It is not an often used car anyway, try to study this new world of particles.

Few tricks will be covered in my lessons and other stuff, just at will. Good luck.
