Particular’s powerful Designer lets users quickly create particle effects that work with multiple systems in the same 3D space, bring particles to life with organic behaviors, and run physics simulations, like fluid dynamics. Trapcode Particular is a tool for creating organic 3D particle effects and complex motion graphics elements in After Effects.

There are so many features, both new and updated, upgraded in both products that the best things is to use Maxon’s own description to explain what the two suites include. “From dazzling motion graphics and visual effects conceived with Trapcode Particular, to gorgeous film looks created with Magic Bullet Looks or finished in Magic Bullet Colorista, these suites have become indispensable tools for creatives.”

“Red Giant Trapcode Suite and Magic Bullet Suite are two of the industry’s most beloved sets of filmmaking tools,” states David McGavran, Maxon CEO. Subscribing customers will enjoy significant enhancements to the creative workflow these upgrades offer, says the company, adding that “customers with an older version of Trapcode Suite or an individual Trapcode product, are encouraged to contact Maxon for special upgrade pricing and options.” It’s a bit like having Black Friday right away! Trapcode Suite 16 and Magic Bullet Suite 14 are also included as part of both the Red Giant Complete and Maxon One product bundles. Magic Bullet Suite 14 – a set of seven tools for color correction, finishing and film looks – includes new color workflows and powerful tools in Magic Bullet Looks and Magic Bullet Colorista.

Updates to Trapcode Suite – a set of 11 tools for particle simulation and 3D effects for motion graphics and VFX – include new physics models, behaviors and a new type of emitter in Trapcode Particular, plus smaller updates to Trapcode Form and Trapcode Mir. “Good things come in pairs”, says the old Chinese proverb, and it is absolutely true in this case: Maxon announced, for the first time ever, two major new suite updates at once: Red Giant Trapcode Suite 16 and Red Giant Magic Bullet Suite 14. Trapcode Suite 16 and Magic Bullet Suite 14 arrive in Red Giant Complete and Maxon One, two updates offering significant enhancements to the creative workflow.
