Official Trapcode Suite training by Peder Norrby
Sunday, March 7, 2010 at 3:04PM Here are the video tutorials made by me - Trapcode's developer himself. These tutorials smell more of "boring engineer" than "cool" :-) Nonetheless, these videos contain almost everything you need to know about the Trapcode products. If you can manage to watch them all, I promise you will learn enormous amounts! I encourage anyone who uses the Trapcode Suite to watch them.
The idea is that you watch them to thoroughly understand the workings of the tools and then get inspired to create you own cool effects using the knowledge you picked up. I'm always open for feedback, please comment below if you want to say something about these tutorials.

Hi
how can i cast shadows of bouncing particles on the floor?
Here is post about creating shadows:
Shadows
Exelente esses tutoriais fale a pena conferir!!!
Parabéns pelo trabalho............
Is there a way to get that smooth streaklet with quick timing in Particular 1.5? The sharp angles are driving me nuts. Everything else works perfectly. Thanks for the tutorial (Particular v2 tut 2). I also figured out I can make my path in Illustrator and paste it into the x,y position for my streaklet too.
The workaround for smoother interpolation with P1.5 is to use a high framerate (99fps) in that comp.

Thank you again Peder, the high framerate makes it much smoother. It just makes me wish between this and the new shading that I could convince my studio to upgrade to version 2.0!
thank for share,. i can be real motion grapher with it :D
thanks for you EN. Peder Norrby and ALL TRAPCODE controls
thanks
Hi Peder! .. and everyone!
I really like Particular and Form (using most of the time). Greatest plugin!
Is there a way, to make the custom text particles to 3D? Extrusion, without using 3D app. like C4D. I need just a little thickness! :)
We need text emitting a trail of particles as it moves on the Z and X axis.
Is there any on-line material that I can read or watch to save on trial and error?
This is a super tight deadline.
The function that emits particles from a layer is called "Layer Emitter" - there is a step-by-step tutorial in the built-in help.
Peder help me you're my only hope!
I love your videos and thank you very much for them!
I've tried to register and the email link to verify got put in the junk file and deleted--now I can't register with my own email and name! Help!!
"Obiekt" po brzmi bardzo "polsko" czy ty aby nie jesteś polakiem?
Thank you! I learned alot from these videos! I'd like to learn a little more of particular, can you give me links to some other training-series?
I have the problen that I haven't got the butten Effekt Favorites ?!?!?!??!?! HELP ?!?!?!?

This is an amazing plugin suite and thanks for the tutorials! Long live Trapcode, especially 3D echo!!!
Thank you!I really like the tutorials.... thank the Brazilian
