Which particle software was used to created this sweeping effect?

[Roland R. kahlenberg]

Hi Tom, I’m thinking it’s Particular. One of the smokey/watery effects from https://people.redgiantsoftware.com/ should be a good start. To get a slightly more hard-edged result as per the video, you can reduce the feathering on the built-in particle type. Another method to achieving a hard-edged result is to apply a wee bit of blur (to spread out the edges) followed by either Matte Choker or Simple Choker to choke and harden the edges.

Sorry Vishesh, I dont have the link anymore. But I think the particle sweeps read quite clearly on my machine. I am surprised you feel that they are vague.

Not much inspiration at the Red People site. Will have to think of taking another approach to recreating these effects.
On closer inspection I think I see how to do what I want.

Sorry Tom
There was some problem with my browser. Now its clear.

I feel that Trapcode Particular is used for this effect.

Also, If you apply CC Vector Blur it may give you results similar to this video.

Thanks Vishesh.

Actually, I got the effect and cool variations of it just using Particular. The key was using the variables in the “Air” area.
