Add the Simulation effect CC Particle World to the layer and you should see an immediate change. Even though weвЂ™ll be working in 3D, you can leave the solid as a 2D layer. First, create a new solid, the same size as the composition you are working in. If you end up doing this kind of work professionally, Particular is absolutely worth investing in вЂ“ but you can still do a lot with After EffectsвЂ™ built-in Particle World and itвЂ™s the perfect tool for learning the basics.Д¬C Particle World is an effect, which means it needs to be applied to something. It offers more advanced controls and options than the built-in effects do, butВ it doesnвЂ™t come cheap: Particular by itself costs several hundred dollars and the entire collection of Trapcode effects runsВ around a thousand. Of all the many effects, scripts, and presets that can be added to After Effects, Particular is easily one of the most popular. Trapcode encompasses a suite of effects made by the third-party company Red Giant. If you do any online searches for particle techniques in After Effects, you will probably see another effect mentioned a lot: Trapcode Particular. ManyВ of the options in Particle WorldВ can be applied to the other particle simulation effects as well, so learning this one will give you a good head start on using the others. WeвЂ™ll focus on CC Particle World, since itвЂ™s the only effect that works in a 3D environment. If you look under the вЂњSimulationвЂќ section of the effects, youвЂ™ll see that there are actually a few different particle-related options: CC Particles Systems II, CC Particle World, and Particle Playground.

Even as a purely abstract aesthetic element, particles can add a lot to a composition. Particles can be used to create all sorts of interesting effects, including rain, snow, smoke, flames, fireworks, stars, and a lot more. LetвЂ™s explore one lastВ 3D topic with one of After EffectsвЂ™ coolest features: particles. So far, weвЂ™ve created 3D objects, cameras, lights, and simple shapes in After Effects.
