  Trapcode Particular settings? Re-creating a particle system?

  Posted by Matt Van dyck on June 2, 2012 at 2:57 am

  Hi there,

  I was looking to re-create this particle system used in the trapcode particular trailer here – https://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/trapcode-particular/ –
  at 0:18 – 0:21. The one that sorta looks like coral.

  Here is what I have so far:

  

  But I don’t know where to go from here. I’m just not getting the 3 Dimensional look that is in the trailer video or the shadows, etc.

  I am pretty new with trapcode so I am probably missing some pretty basic settings… but does anyone know what else I could do to increase the detail/ 3D look on my particle system?

  Adding lights and depth of field to the scene would help.
