Particular SMOKE Tutorial | Ultra Realistic!

[@soljoner]

Dude, your pacing for giving tutorials is spot on. You don’t drag with idle chat and you keep a steady pace, where viewers can pause n play your video, definitely gonna subscribe.

[@zasaranimation7322]

Excellent, no messing around. Perfect pace for practiced users. Chapeau!

[@LoktionBanger]

yeah am used to those tuts where the person starts by introducing adobe for a minute then explains what after effects is for the next 3 minutes, wastes time creating a comp and then explains what trapcode is for the next 5 mins then only then he starts the real tutorial. so much BS

[@rossleeson8626]

This is the most informative Particular tutorial I have ever used. You are an Artist.

[@InkyStains]

dude! this is one of the best, most concise, explanative, tutorials I've ever seen! I've probably watched over 999 AE tutorials but you do a great job of humbly explaining common pitfalls and key parameters to check. I had to watch over 12 particular videos before I could understand my velocity was the one thing messing up all my work. THANK YOU!!!

[@JJ_Lawson_VFX]

This is absolutely superb! It's very rare to find experience AE users out there who make good tutorials, you've definitely earned another sub! Keep up the fantastic work!!

[@VisionaryFire]

Thanks for subscribing and watching the videos! Glad you are learning some awesome stuff!

[@novelafilmacademy]

Excellent tutorial! The ultra-realistic smoke effects you demonstrated using Particular are truly impressive.

[@alenz01]

My man! It's 2021 and I've been watching four tutorials that look like crap, evenusing plugings and all, you come here and do the stuff right up in AE. Thansk you!!!

[@devs7]

A trick I always use instead of masks are linear wipes. A linear wipe at 25% completion, 0º angle, and 200 feather works and is less complicated than creating a mask for your auxiliary particle layer. Great tutorial by the way - thanks!

[@g_niac]

That sounds like an interesting substitute for masks. Will have to try!

[@feliciavanos9775]

Great tut, perfect pacing and no unnecessary chit chat. Straight to the point. Thank you!

[@IndependentVFX]

Lendon! You are an absolute champion! This is so brilliant

[@passion_proh-jects]

I hope you've been as successful over the years since making this video, as your obvious skill and aptitude at the time of this upload would have been rightfully deserving of. Thank you for sharing.

[@fischergreen4134]

Thank you. A brilliant tutorial for a newbie like me. I now have a smoke Comp that I can use when needed.

[@TalkswithaSpy]

Great effect. Very well explained. I am very pleased with the result. Thanks!

[@mikaelbjornson2666]

This is an awesome tutorial! One of the best I’ve seen. Fast paced but still detailed, very much to the point and without the unnecessary bla-bla of so many tutorials out there. I think I’ve returned to this tut like 7 times just to remind myself of different tweaks and tricks you present. And to hear your wonderful speaking style. Like an awesome character from South Park (meant as a compliment). Thank you!

[@cheeseandegg]

wow you nailed that smoke - thanks very much for sharing

[@NOCTURNUSFILM]

Wow! Pretty good. I wouldn't have thought that a particle system could create such realistic smoke effects.

[@nenolima5595]

me neither... reaaly cool

[@TheFraternalHouse]

I had Particular it just sitting on my computer. I was using Particle World & Particle Playground for Smoke. Who knew Particular was 100x Better?

[@aeplug-aftereffectstutoria9210]

Really awesome. I love this effect. Thank you!

[@VaryuPon]

Could you possibly do a tutorial on how to have the smoke point track it's movement?

[@OwainStreet]

Clever variation on creating smoke in particular. Good stuff!

[@BlackFriday.24h]

Just another AMAZING VIDEO in youtube thy so much

[@Priest]

Great tutorial, you obviously know your stuff. I have one issue tho, the Matte layer at 8:53 where you add feathered mask, if I use this smoke composition somewhere else where I want smoke to be, I can see mask, there is like a black feathered circle. Any way I can get rid of this, hide it ?

[@VisionaryFire]

Pre-compose all of your smoke layers, and set the layer to screen. That should do the trick.

[@im_Dafox]

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks. I don't really use AE that much except for small things in my videos/gifs, but this tutorial was really -really- helpful with an excellent result. Plus we can feel the love you have for this effect and it only makes it better ahah. Simple and straight to the point. Thanks a lot :)

[@JacobDaltonVFX]

You're a wizard

[@carmenhathawaycom]

Thanks Lendon -- inspiration + + + !

[@VisionaryFire]

Thanks ! ! !

[@SouthernShotty]

This was great, thank you

[@ddhananjayrao3296]

Instead smoke coming from 1 point, how can we make smoke coming from ring shape?

[@Griggsbygriffindore]

absoluty short and to the point, just what the reason on why i subbed! (ps. your to good for ae, go cgi without moca or any adobe or autodesk product, hell make your own software with a tutorial and ill watch it under a hour.)

[@namestring9884]

amazing!这是我看到最经典的AE教程之一，非常非常非常不可思议，学习到了非常多的知识

[@seanmckee9553]

Wow! You saved the day. Couldn't find a good solition to cig smoke til now.

[@scompagnone]

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, quick and no BS! congrats!

[@AniMAYAanimation]

you are not a professional .... you are an artist (love you man)

[@VisionaryFire]

Thanks!

[@psykhecreativa]

Nice effect. Very realistic. Congratulations!

[@Lomaxient]

Superb! This tutorial is a diamond.

[@VisionaryFire]

Nice to hear, thanks!

[@tommy_camus]

Great!! Thank you so much (from Argentina)

[@grbtza]

Great tutorial! Excellent results, and very easy to follow! I wouldn´t apply Echo, though. I don´t think it helps much, and the "cloning" of the wisp is distracting.

[@Julian-xo7vj]

Hi there Lendon greetings from Australia. Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I used the technique for a fluro green smoke coming out of a mysterious bottle. Added a bit of a green glow and heat distortion to make it look more mystical. Worked really well! Thanks mate:)

[@flyrics5169]

Thanks for the tutorial but I don't know how to get the second system look like yours because many settings look different in version 16 of Particular.

[@officer088]

Instead of using matte to obscure the Aux layer you could use settings in the Aux System tab "Control from Main Particle" and just edit Start Emit, have you known about it?

[@slimeballslatty]

can u teach me 😭

[@VonKushmarck]

Straight to the point. Thanks man! I subbed

[@saschaschmidt9756]

Brilliant! This one helped me to do a quick fix so I managed NOT to spend the night in front of Fume Effects and watching try&error simulations...

[@lawlelulaylow]

Great tutorial. Thank you for making this.

[@RojasYoutube]

Excelente Tutorial cuando explican las cosas de esta forma facilitan la compresión para las personas interesadas muy bien explicado, Saludos para todos...

[@aeplug-aftereffectstutoria9210]

Good result in the end.

[@annego3656]

Can you put the link for the plug-in into the description!??

[@Awakenbeing]

wow,amazing smoke u have created using particular, thnx a lot for teaching us the technique.

[@VisionaryFire]

No problem!

[@arashchitgar7445]

that was incredible! thanks a lot for this great tut man.

[@emilcupic]

just used this for a project at work, thanks alot man! great tutorial

[@michelmeulemeester7649]

Incroyable ! You'r a genius :-)

[@hasanahammed8946]

awesome tutorial

[@seb3dartist]

Really cool man! haven't seen a tutorial with this kind of realistic smoke, thanks!!

[@JohnM-sz2vh]

Thanks for the tut! I was able to replicate this effect in hopes i can put it in a sphere. I'm trying to create a ball of smoke. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@thesomethingpage]

you're a hero. thanks a bunch man!

[@jatechan]

Very good tutorial. Thank you very much.

[@MeMeA1]

Bro is there a way to seamless loop it? I've seen your video with fire tutorial but idk if that would work with this kind of smoke especially when you put lot of variation to that smoke

[@impendo_world]

April 25, 2021 Can you remake this tutorial with latest version of Particular? The new version has different effect control settings so not the same as shown here. Also if you could provide in 1080 or higher that would make it better for us to follow what you do in AE. Have subscribed and liked. Thank you.

[@FareedNagy]

nice tutorial but you either offset the echo more or remove the echo all together.

[@dwayn67]

Great effect!! Thank you!

[@MyLoginWasIncorrect]

wow man, that is awesome. Thanks from 2020!

[@VisionaryFire]

Cheers! By the way are you interested in VFX as a career?

[@MyLoginWasIncorrect]

@@VisionaryFire hey, I work as a freelancer, but mostly on motion graphics videos, like ads and social media videos. I love complex vfx projects like yours, but I'm a beginner in that.

7:32 how can I make it white please?

Great TUT!

[@HarshwardhanShahani]

nice. how to track the smoke to a moving object eg cigarette in hand.

[@VisionaryFire]

I have a tutorial for this the Visionary Smoke product: visionaryfire.com/resources

[@franciscasilva1797]

hi! , the tutorial is very nice I liked the finished one, I would like to know if you could do another tour of PARTICULAR but step by step. Thank you!!

[@OwenGrove]

Great tutorial! I have an effect I want to do where smoke is slowly emitting from the edges of a character. Any ideas on how to make the movement of the smoke a little less rapid, and emit from a mask or line segment instead of a single point?

[@laughatfootball]

Could you add Sound keys to this to control the movement of the smoke? That would be amazing.

[@7freemanurung]

nice tutorial bro. thanks a lot

[@chippsanders9614]

This is great, man! Thank you so much. You helped me build a nice pre comp.

[@Azuniite]

great tutorial man as always :)

[@GambaFilms]

This is aguesome! Thanks!

[@VisionaryFire]

I agree! :) lol Thanks

[@jinxPad]

fantastic tutorial, produced the smoke effect I was going for thanks to you!

[@gregkrazanski]

amazing work, yet again, thanks

[@edy176]

Could you show us how you can loop that smoke in perticular ?

[@cyklzycia8814]

Nice and help full video !

[@marshmelow]

Hi, question. I want to use your smoke effect and add it to a motion tracked point so that the smoke trails when the null moves with it's point. Any thoughts? Thanks.

[@NonStopFails]

You should just be able to motion track the point you want, set a null to it and then parent the particulator. Did you end up trying it out?

[@ARTUR_MOS3D]

@@NonStopFails You mean create an emitter, bind the emitter to the smoke, and then bind the emitter to the motion of the object itself?

[@ARTUR_MOS3D]

@@NonStopFails Please!!..

[@CTSHub]

hay can you make smoke explosion in circular not vertical with same smoke from particular. or Even better if that react to music audio.

[@dannybiemansrsm3520]

great tut one word super

[@cosmic7184]

Awesome, thanks heaps for your tutorial. Keep up the good work.

[@VisionaryFire]

Thanks for taking the time to comment!!! :)

[@DaveCodling]

fantastic effects thanks, ive been trying to create something realistic like this for my stopmotion for about 5 months haha :)

[@Blackice350]

Lol, I was about to comment exactly the same ahah xd

[@IskanderVFX]

hey man awesome stuff!

[@NabilMajid]

its possible to the smoke follow a path?

[@bigmatchmedia4269]

Ok, So. New Version of Trapcode does NOT have the aux system in Particular. Or am I blind?

[@DJizz82]

Great video !!! can this same effect be created with After Effects CS6?

[@binaryfaith]

Hey I'm just learning AE and successfully finished your awesome training video with excellent results. Wondering how I insert this into a video that I'm making. I cut and paste the layers into my project but i can't get the thing to show up. Please help. Thanks :)

[@VisionaryFire]

Open your footage layer into a new composition. Find your smoke composition and drag it into your footage composition. Make sure your smoke composition layer is above your footage layer. Hope that works for you!

[@binaryfaith]

Hey man, I figured it out. Thanks so much. I just did your fluid particle one as well. Very good! Keep up the good work man. If your open to requests, there are no good tutorials on adding volumetric cinematic light to real subjects. Most of the tutorials are for logos. Could you do one of those? :)

[@VisionaryFire]

Can you elaborate a little more on your tutorial suggestion. I have many other tutorials on my to do list but I am glad to hear suggestions!

[@forrestwhaley3433]

Good video. Thank you!

厉害啊，学到了！谢谢。

Hi. Is there a way to make the smoke loop with few frames?

[@MaschineLife]

Awesome tutorial bro

[@VisionaryFire]

Thanks!

[@zakirah_1434]

Where can i download the particular effect?

[@WBanduMedia07]

Thanks, sir. Appreciate this.

[@Drummergotbeat]

I'm unsure as to how to make the smoke trail off as it would normally, like when someone puffs out smoke when smoking. I've tried to make the smoke stop and trail off but it just stops abruptly. Any tips?

[@KSTUDIOFILM]

Echo effects is not found in effects panel!! help please

[@aeplug-aftereffectstutoria9210]

must be

[@igshipilov]

Thank you for interesting tutorial! But I faced with some difficults. When I change "Size over Life" my particles still remain same size as they were. Maybe I should activate any parameter or switch On some checkbox... This moment in your video was too, but you skipped this (it's on 4:30). Could you help me to resolve this issue?

[@igshipilov]

Ah, Okey, I find the decision - just restart the project. Looks like Trapcode have some glithces.

[@VisionaryFire]

Try hitting "options" at the top of the effect and then hit cancel.

[@igshipilov]

This way is more enjoyable) Thanks)

[@brunofernandes6261]

Amazing dude!! Thx for the Tutorial!!

[@VisionaryFire]

I appreciate your enthusiasm Bruno! I really hope this helped you!
