The Trapcode plug-ins for 3D motion graphics and effects have been updated. Completely new is a Dynamic Fluids Physics Engine, which is available in Trapcode Particular 4 as well as Trapcode Form 4. It is intended to make it possible for the first time to create particle animations with realistic flowing movements within After Effects. Four physical simulation environments (Vortex Ring, Vortex Tube among others) can be applied and adapted for your own purposes. The Designer in Particular and Form has also been revised to make working with the particle effects a little easier. New presets have also been added.
Furthermore…
Trapcode Mir 3 has also been updated. It can now import 3D OBJ objects and use them in compositions. Previously, users were limited to the integrated library of 60 ready-made OBJs. The remaining 8 Trapcode tools in the suite remain unchanged.

By the way!
We will also be grabbing the plug-ins and putting them through a rigorous test in a future issue! Stay tuned. ;)
