Quick Start
1. Start Adobe After Effects
2. Create a new composition (Ctrl/Cmd-N)
3. Create new comp-sized solid (Ctrl/Cmd-Y). Note that this solid should never be moved from center to move the form around. Instead, use the controls inside the effect.
4.
Apply Trapcode>Form to the solid.
5. Apply a preset from the Animation Presets menu, for example, choose tf_Flight_loop3s.
6. (Optional) Create a camera: Layer>New>Camera.
Now you can start playing with the settings and moving about your new form in 3D space.
About Trapcode Form — General
Trapcode Form is a grid-based 3D particle system where the particles have eternal life. The particles do not get born, live and die like in a regular particle system, rather they just exist and can be affected by a number of different maps and fields that make them move around, change size, et cetera.
Trapcode Form is useful for creating a wide range of effects such as organic flowing patterns, complex geometric 3D structures, audio-driven animations, fire-like animations, and 3D grid structures.
