Red Giant Software Trapcode Suite 14

Trapcode Suite 14 is a major update to Red Giant's industry standard toolset for creating motion graphics and visual effects in Adobe After Effects. Trapcode Suite 14 includes 11 tools, including new version of Trapcode Particular 3, Trapcode Form 3, and an updated Trapcode Tao plug-in. All of the tools work in Adobe After Effects for Windows or Mac OS X, Trapcode Shine, Starglow, and 3D Stroke also work in Premiere Pro.

Both Trapcode Particular 3 and Trapcode Form 3 feature the newly overhauled Designer. It allows to add adjustable blocks with preset behaviors and styles for emitters, particles, physics and aux particles. Or add complete, customizable particle effects with a single click. The Designer gives instant visual feedback, making the building and previewing of effects an intuitive and creative experience. Both plug-ins also enable to use 3D models and animated OBJ sequences as particle emitters (Trapcode Particular 3) or as particle grids (Trapcode Form 3). Now it's also possible to use any image in your composition as a particle by assigning it to a 2D sprite or textured polygon. Particular 3/Form 3 now include over 270 still and animated sprite images, easily loaded directly within After Effects or in the Designer.

Also new in Trapcode Particular 3 is a GPU acceleration through OpenGL. Depending on your system and setup, you could see speed boosts of up to 4x or more over previous versions. The Particular enables to explore endless creative possibilities when you combine multiple particle systems in the same 3D space. Create beautiful, complex effects through the interaction of different systems, all within one instance of Particular. Emitters in Multi-system setups can share parameter settings (such as turbulence, gravity and more), and can be saved as a single preset.

The updated Trapcode Tao introduces Depth of Field effects, which allow you to create camera-realistic blurs for your Tao objects, based on their distance from the After Effects 3D camera. The new Depth of Field effect makes it easy to integrate Tao into your live action shots and motion graphics.
