The main change in Trapcode Suite 17 is the much-requested option to use functionality from two of its key plugins, Particular and Form, within the same 3D space.īoth create 3D particle systems, but whereas Particular creates organic-looking clouds of emitted particles with finite lifespans, Form creates regular arrays of immortal particles. New Form functionality within Particular unifies workflow for particle systems

The news was announced at the 3D and Motion Design Show, alongside the public beta of Redshift RT and updates to other Maxon apps: Cinema 4D R25, VFX Suite 2, Magic Bullet Suite 15 and Universe 5. The update makes it possible to use functionality from Form inside Particular, its sister plugin, and extends Particular’s particle flocking system to support predator-prey behaviours. Maxon has released Trapcode Suite 17, the latest version of its set of motion graphics and VFX plugins for After Effects, which it acquired following last year’s merger with original developer Red Giant.
