I have always been intrigued by the particle simulations used in films and motion graphics videos. I decided to explore this unknown area by playing around with various After Effects plug-ins, namely Red Giant’s Trapcode Particular and Element 3D. I referred to various online tutorials but did not limit myself to follow the exact settings that were shown in the videos - I gave myself freedom to produce modified or differently interpreted versions.

Here are a few particle simulations I had created in After Effects during my own free time:

Thanks for looking!
