Join Rob Garrott for an in-depth discussion in this video Using Trapcode Particular to add sparks to the phone reveal, part of Cinema 4D: Rendering Motion Graphics for After Effects.
Our phone explosion is missing one last ingredient and that's sparks.…These sparks will help establish definition scale and movement of the burst of…energy created by the phone.…We are going to use Particular, an amazing third party particle generator…to create that effect.…So, here inside of After Effects, I am inside of the MMM-001 Composition and…this is where all of our compositing is coming together.…And I want to add these sparks and I want to have them come out right at the…point where the phone emerges and the explosion happens.…
In order to do this, I am going to use the effect Particular.…Now, Particular is a third-party particle system and it needs to be added to a…layer in order to be visible in the scene and now I'm going to add that to a…solid layer and the color of the solid layer doesn't matter.…So, let's make a new solid, Command or Ctrl+Y on the keyboard, and I'm going to…call this one Particular.…Now you can call it anything you want. I usually name my layer exactly what it is.…
