Particle Playground | Effects of After Effects 

This is one of the most complex tutorial that i have ever seened

The bird example was amazing. Your commentary “They don’t die…that would be sad.” was priceless. Great job!

this video is a gem only worthy people get recommended in feed

1 hour went like I was just watching a Scifi movie, I had so much fun watching this tut, Particle playground is incredibly interesting! Thank you man for all the efforts you put on your tutorials.

Holy guacamole, I fell into a hypnotic trance watching this. I have no idea what I just watched! Amazing stuff Battleaxe Bro!

This video deserves a lot of appreciation and really this is a very very cool effect. Never paid attention to this effect before and didn't think it was this powerful. Thanks for sharing this Jake, you are a great teacher and this series is worthless and one of the foundations no one thought of before to teach. This is a great support to this community.

Gonna have fun testing this one out! The possibilities seem endless!

it's the 4th day in a row i'm playing with this effect, you just opened a world for me

Aaaaamazing Jake!!! Thanks for taking the time to record and share this in such "GREAT" detail!

Happy to know that there is an effect which produces results by Newtonscript in a much simpler way. Thank u so much for making this. Learnt so much.

i love your series, absolutely best AE series on YT

Keep up the good content my man!

Best one yet! Love this effect, so crazy that it was made in 1992! If Adobe made this GPU accelerated it would be even more incredible :)

Thank you! Such an exhaustive review.

Brilliant, comprehensive tutorial. It suggests so many uses! I’m working on an animated diagram showing nutrient exchange in plant roots and mycorrhizal fungi which this is perfect for! Bravo.

Thank you so much for creating this video. I have been trying to make this work for some time now. This video will make it so much faster to get to a final effect. BTW, I loved how you used the Shift Channels fx to create a source for the Persistent and Ephemeral Property Mappers. Great job, I'll be replaying this a lot. Have a great day!

thats great tutotial! Thank you!

Amazing tutorial. I learned a lot. Thank you Jake!!!!🙂

What a stunning tutorial and showcase. Thank you sir for this great Video.

THANK YOU JAKE!

An epic tutorial !

I only here to say I fucking love you! A massive thank you, seriously. I've been a fan for ages, but I randomly came across your stuff again while trying to figure out more about this effect. I ended up on RU-vid, and lo and behold! Found over an hour of top-notch content!

AMAZING tutorial. Thank you.

Very complex effect! But after watching this I made a simple animation of emojis popping up and changing their scale and opacity according to Property Mapper! Thanks! I will have a look a t another Parcticle FX now.

I was wondering when you'd get around to this big, ol' classic. Not suprised it comes in at an hour and some change.

Outstanding tutorial. I'm at 25 mins thinking - damn I didn't need to buy Newton last year.

God stuff, named it playground, when playing u can create summing from nothing, with low rez for quick time, that great here!

amazing video i love you so much for it, i do have a question though, is there any way of making the particles rotate on themselves?

Okay, this one really surprised me. I went from "What, that dinky little fountain simulator?" to "This changes everything" in the span of a few minutes.

Very inspiring use of this effect. Does anyone know how to control this effect to tell it to produce new 'particles' in front of older 'particles'? As default it seems to produce new behind the old. Thanks!

Thank you for this! I was trying to make a plane with a smoke trail and ended up here, should I use the technique at 5:23 to accomplish this? I have rotated it so it's horizontal and as a result it doesn't follow the position of the item it want it to correctly.

Woooaaaaw

Could you help me please? I'm basically trying to set up a cannon emitter w/texture video random times as custom particle, "slideshow" particles being emitted at the camera. I am having a tough time trying to set it up?

Ooonnnneeee Hoouuurrr bro!!!!

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much for sharing. I was thinking, as practice, to try to do the well know Matrix text effect and trying to not watching a tutorial, and when i saw the part where you explained the text i thought that could be a good beginning, i'll try when i can. Greetings.

can you use a clip with an alpha channel as a boundry or wall?

Is there a way to adjust the decay from the souce? For example I want to make a character fart, I want it to decay at the source but the older particles are still there?

Thank you very much!

Sorry if I'm being rush, i just know blender more than average, and there is all that better defined in 2013, than in after effect 2024. Only rare people look 3d ap for 2d result. Meaning, after effect is really ore powerful in other stuff. Good for real beginners in particle settings.

👍👍👍

JAKE! Just yesterday I was trying to make a dynamic background where a grid of squares dynamically responded to a gradient controller. Following these two tutorials (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1UaZNcVobhg.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BIwppXzHErY.html) I was able to make one. However, since it was a 1920x1920 grid of over 1000 layers 6px squares all linked with expressions to a gradient controller, it took me at least an hour to set up properly using guides, was near impossible to edit how I wanted those layers to react after that set up, and took 10 minutes to render a 4 second preview. After watching this breakdown: I went back into that comp, turned off all of those layers, made one new layer with a Particle Playground grid on it, turned off the gravity, connected the Ephemeral Property Mapper that gradient controller. Took me 1 minute and boom! I have a completely dynamic background with a more perfect grid, every property able to be edited at any time, and it previews with no lag what so ever. All without any expressions. It both works and looks better and took no time what-so-ever all thanks to your in depth and really clear breakdown. This is life changing for dynamic backgrounds! Thank you for that.

Do you think that Particular already have all of the possibilities that Playground have? And incase I have Particular would you suggest to invest more time into it instead of Playground?

my grid particles are going vertically straight, are not rotating and are not animating horizontal x axis...Why please ?

my head hurts

My brain is both blown and mush.

I was interested from the start, but it was at around 14 minutes that I went "ok, damn that's really cool".

I was having a great time until you spelled cannon as "canon" 😭 Just joking of course, great video as always Jake :)

I tried using the wall feature, but my particles only generate in the mask rather than bounce off of it.

13:50 🙆‍♂

Wow ! I would of bet my weeks beer supply you would skip this one lol.

Man, instal old good blender and get familiar with real world of particle settings. Adobe after effects is cool, but it is not program for particle settings world, blender is.

Aaaaamazing Jake!!! Thanks for taking the time to record and share this in such "GREAT" detail!
