Very nice! Thanks!
WOW…Nice Tutorial!!!Congrats…
Very very cool. Probably the most unique thing I’ve seen particular used for….will watch tutorial later….Cheers.
Excellent use of Particular v2. Uniquely Done.
Well done! Pas mal du tout l’utilisation de Particular 2 comme ca.
A+

Nice effect, and good to see more different uses for Particular.
lol faut soigner ton accent , sinon le tuto est super
It is too attractive, I am very impressed…
Wow! Wicked stuff!
J’adore l’accent ! C’est génial ! J’ai le même, je comprend tous ! hé hé. Entre Mattrunks et toi AE-tuts va bientôt devenir un site francophone !
It’s very nice idea and well done effect
…the best thing I’ve seen for quite a time! very beautiful!
nice effect… but tutorial is hard to follow cause of broken english. maybe a written one would be smoother… thank again though.
Yeah, i know…
As we say in France, “I speak english like a spanish cow…”
Sorry for that…
The next one will be a written one, sure
Its all good homie, you speak better english than i speak french
sory for this comment, but for some reason i can not watch the movies. It says that the links are not found on my computer. Could you check it again plz !
a bit confusing, maybe if did it from the start instead of explaining over the already done example.
but very nice.
I have seen plants created with the old version, but I have to say it looks so much better with the shading in 2.0. Brilliant, gonna check it out.
çok güzel ya
awesome, i knew it was a matte of time
Really cool use of Particular 2! I found the tutorial difficult to follow, not because of your accent but because you skipped over settings and steps.
Also, the compression on the video makes it difficult to make out the settings, so it might be helpful to clearly say what settings you have used to get the effect.
For example, if setting velocity, don’t say something like, “and we set the velocity” and move on to something else. Say, “and we set the velocity to 5.0″ – explanation why would be helpful too
I had to pause the video numerous times just to see what settings you used.
Hope I’m not coming across harshly – just trying to offer some specific suggestions to make a great effect match a great tutorial.
Thanks for putting this one together! Look forward to seeing more tutorials from you in the future…
I tried to make a step by step tutorial, but it was one hour and a half long…
So, instead, i decided to make an overall presentation of the setup.
Sorry for going too fast on some settings or steps… You know, it’s my first tutorial, and i’ve got a lot to learn…
Here is a direct link to the project file, if you want a closer look !

C´est trés creatif! Very clever usage of Particular.
Hi
Bit of feedback here, you really need to change your video player from the current one, Even with a dedicated 4mb broadband connection its still jerky.
There are plenty of ones out there.
( you have flash tuts on here, why not build one yourself )
Great outcome…
great work
thanks’ for your tutorial waiting for amazing tutorial more and more
thanks’

beau boulot Vincent, ca marche vraiment bien
GREAT TUT!!!!!
Thanks for your contributions to the AE community.
Your very talented and original. I have haven’t even thought about using Trapcode Particular 2 for these type of “Growing” effects.
Thanks Again, I look forward to future tutorials.
P.s-Don’t take any of the feed backs to heart, just areas to improve on for the next Tuts. (I HOPE YOU MAKE MORE!!!) I personally didn’t have trouble following along, but I guess others did.
Merci Vincent très bon tuto, il est vraiment puissant ce particular 2
PS : I think some of you are quite hard with his english,
try to do one in french ; )
I do prefer the video tut’s bescause it’s often easier to understand the process…
I’m not convince it would have been easier to follow a step by step one
Merci !
Et , tu sais , ils ne sont pas si dur que ca avec mon anglais, 3 ou 4 commentaires sur 30, je m’attendais à bien pire !!!
hé hé ! par contre pour seule critique tu ne précises pas assez bien la mise en place de la scène au départ (pas assez pédagogique pour un débutant), par exemple comment on met en place particular dans un solide, comment on lie les expressions avec “l’escargot”, ou encore bien penser à mettre la vélocité des particules à zéro, etc…
En tout cas merci encore pour ce tuto !
thanks’ for tutorial
i hope if you can make it from scratch it will be easy to follow
make it parts
thanks’ for your tutorial relay great tutorial and i hope to learn cool trick from you
sorry to be a party pooper. but this was the WORST tutorial iv seen on aetuts.. bad english makes it hard to follow, and the fact that u did the tutorial over an already made project makes it very hard to follow.
the whole point of a tutorial is to explain it to an audience who have no idea whats going on, i wouldnt pay $2 for this tutorial let alone $150
Sorry man, it was a first try…
If you want to know, i didn’t take the 150$…
Thankz alot….
The tutorial is a pure madness confusion
that makes me think that you have not really a clear cue
what a presentation is about….tray to write some lines about your lecturing before
Obrigado pelo tutorial excellente!!!
Great concept….illegible Flash tutorial. Is there a way to use less compression so the info on screen is readable? Building it as you go will also help to clearly communicate what is being done if you do intend this as an instructional piece.
(Reference an Andrew Kramer at videocopilot.com tutorial to see what I mean).
Its really a very creative use of Particular.
great project can not understdand a word of this guy what the hell is he saying &**)*&&*( sorry for my french should i say ……..
great tutorial no clue about this guy he sucks
Great idea. TERRIBLE TUTORIAL!!!!!
C’mon you lot. Get somebody better please. This was difficult to follow, he passed through lots of details and he barely speaks english. What’s the deal?
Don’t get this guy doing tutorials any more!!
I am very very impressed & i am very happy tutorials
YEAH Vincent pour la france c’est good your tut !
Thanks a lot for all, Yturru
nice tutorials
