Without this visual way of building specific particle effects and getting instant real-time feedback (on my Mac Pro at least) in the viewer it would be easy to be very quickly overwhelmed by the options. I would recommend sticking with the default particle when playing with the effects builder, as this seemed like the best way to get genuine real-time playback in the viewer, as when I set it to something more complex everything slowed down considerably. (This might be user error though!)
But having worked with an animator who bought one part of the suite on a job, only to discover they kind of needed another part of it to more easily create the look we wanted, and then one thing leading to another, they had to buy another individual plugin, and in the end spent a good chunk of what simply buying the entire suite would have cost. So it seems that if you have all the tools, you will make use of all the tools, so you may as well get all the tools.

The following thoughts (in italics) are courtesy of my motion graphics animator brother Chris Elwyn, who, being far more experienced with the Trapcode Suite, was kind enough to provide some knowledgeable insight for the purposes of this review.
The last thing to mention is the custom Sprite Library, giving you the option of using one of the large number of sprites in the provided library, or importing your own into the Effect Builder. I can see a lot of use here for people looking to create common effects such as fire and smoke.
Soundkeys, Starglow Form
Smaller tweaks here; Form has benefited from the new Square particle available in Particular. Starglow has had bunch of colour presets added to it and Soundkeys has had a number of UI tweaks along with some additions that should make motion graphics easier to create.
With tools to generate complex procedural 3D geometries using built-in auto paths, mask shapes and the motion from 3D lights, Trapcode Tao brings new depth to motion graphics projects. Thanks to GPU acceleration, process-intensive graphics and effects, like image-based lighting, reflection maps and ambient occlusion, all render at incredible speeds. With Trapcode Tao, motion graphics artists can:
Also getting a major upgrade, Trapcode Mir 2 adds a number of new ways to create and customize dynamic 3D surfaces, such as the ability to spiralize the mesh or deform the surface with spiral rotations. Create seamless looping fractal-based backgrounds, add a second-pass wireframe to create grid overlays on terrains and other surfaces, and choose between quad or triangle-based polygons for a surface.

Red Giant Trapcode Suite 13.0.1(x64) Incl License KeysDOWNLOAD Suite 13 is available today and can be purchased for $999 ($199 upgrade) through Red Giant. Customers can purchase individual products or the entire Trapcode Suite 13. Complete pricing info available at www.redgiant.com/products/trapcode-suite.This might be where I think Red Giant could improve upon this suite, but skilled artists may disagree. Using the Designer in Particular as an example, why not include a sort of preset gallery or designer for some of the other plugins? Take Shine, for example. There is a drop-down menu with all the different color and light styles and parameters that control the light position and intensity. Why not build a mini designer interface that displayed a gallery of these, along with a handful of animation presets that people commonly use? Is that making it too easy? Would we see an onslaught of the same exact Shine effect in countless videos from people who thought it looked cool and changed none of the other parameters? Maybe, maybe not.If you install the suite, all 11 Trapcode effects will show up in After Effects CC. These include Particular, Form, Tao, Mir, Shine, Lux, 3D Stroke, Echospace, Starglow, Sound Keys and Horizon. Of these, 3D Stroke, Shine and Starglow will also be available within Premiere Pro CC. Together these effects form a comprehensive toolkit for After Effects designers who really do have to create magic from scratch. 28789f854f
