Shine's new Fractal Noise tools enable users to add smoky, volumetric lighting to their motion graphics and visual effects. With Trapcode Shine’s new ability to link to an After Effects 3D light, users can generate 3D camera-aware light rays. Trapcode Shine 2: 3D Light Rays, Fractal Noise and 35 Customizable Presets Particular 2.5 can render up to 30 million particles (previously 20 million), offering more power, flexibility and particle awesomeness than ever before.Create procedurally generated square and circle shaped particles with two new Particle types.Quickly turn spheres into ovals, squares into rectangles and much more. With the new Aspect Ratio Control, users can change the aspect ratio of particles, enabling them to stretch or compress the shape or Sprite image.The new explode behavior automates the process of creating explosion effects by removing the need to set keyframes.Draw from scratch, or start with presets and adjust. The new graphing system lets users draw curves and adjust points easily. New “Over Life” Graphs provide more control over the size and opacity of particles over life.New Sprite Library: Particular 2.5 includes more than 100 still and animated Sprite images, easily loaded through the new Effects Builder.130+ New Presets: Particular 2.5 includes more than 130 new Effects Builder presets, meaning over 180 fully customizable presets for creating flames, spaceflight, fireworks, explosions, smoke and more.The Effects Builder gives instant visual feedback, making the building and previewing of effects an intuitive and creative experience. Add adjustable blocks with preset behaviors and styles or add complete, customizable particle effects instantly. Brand new Effects Builder for visually creating particle effects.The complete list of new features and enhancements in Trapcode Particular 2.5: “The interactive preview is very useful for getting a sense of how Particles react when the emitter is moved, while the new presets and Sprite gallery provide so many creative options.” “ The new Particular 2.5 Effects Builder will help demystify the plug-in and provide an easy way to create complex effects,” states Norrby.
