I don't know about you, but that sort of reminds me of the Vortex Rings Colliding from this Smarter Every Day Video. Now, we have an option for fluids, along with a number of force options to manipulate particles in a fluid-like motion, including a swirl, vortex, and even having different particle systems interact with one another. Previously, you could affect the movement and behavior of particles with forces like gravity and wind, while also restricting them to shapes to bounce within, like boxes. You good? Ok, here’s a bit more detail on this new physics option. Take a short break to compose yourself and come back in five. I can tell you’re breathing heavily just thinking about particle generators and force simulators don’t worry, I am too.

The big new feature for Particular and Form is the added ability to use fluid physics. New effects like Mir and Form are completely new to me, but look really wild! Could I just jump in cold and make some cool looking stuff? What’s New I used After Effects and Apple Motion on a regular basis about a decade ago, but over time, I’ve moved into other areas of production, and honestly, my skills have faded.

But how approachable is it for a hobbyist, advanced amateur, or anyone who isn’t a professional motion graphic artist? I fall somewhere in the middle of that range, so I thought I'd attempt to answer that question. So, as you can see, Trapcode Suite 15 is the latest hotness from Red Giant.
