Particle Turbulence
February 26th, 2009

For anyone using CC Particle World instead of Particular, you may know that Particular's Turbulent Field is not available. This feature allows random 3D displacement of a particles position. A similar effect can be achieved with Particle World by adding a TURBULENT DISPLACE effect. It works best with smaller particle and it has some limitations because it is only 2D but it is a nice way to get away from "perfect" particle movement.

Hi! Thank you for your tutorial!
I have a question, when I try to play with affect size of the turbulence field, nothing happens. The line doesn't change like it happens in your video. The particles doesn't chane either.
What can be a problem?
Thank you!

I love design and I want to help me some of the lessons if you allow
Because I want to make a good preparation for possible assistance program does
Thank you and I am waiting for your reply

Hi Andrew, i just wondering, is it possible to create a reall 3D particle world in AE? I mean is it possible to create some depth to particles. I tryed to use Particular, it's look nice, but i cant place layer into particles. It's look like all partocles infront of my image layer, or all particles behind it. For example, Can i create rain, or volume fog with one layer and place other layers containing images with alpha into it?

Thank you for your toturias!

Is it also possible to have several pictures of leaves to replace the particles so it looks like the wind is blowing the leaves in the air ?

Thanks Kramer!

I work for a television station in australia and being tough times and all, they can't justify purchasing particular, and we are still working on AE7 for crying out loud! The amount of times I've created the perfect effect that the producers have wanted quickly and simply with the particular demo, only to have to replicate it using particle world etc is really annoying. This is a great help in that department

So thankyou again!

Still...would be Very nice to see a tutorial focused on creating Believable Particles with lotsa physics\turbulence.
If i remember well...the particles u made with Twitch's promo [that are rising as if it was a storm]-looked quite nice for starters! :]
