[Help] Articles & Books about Particle Effects.

[NZPunisher]

Hey guys, I'm looking to find some articles and books related to creating particle effects in After Effects, Maya and Krakatoa. I am currently looking into creating a live action scene with a person teleporting/transforming into shot. This will have some particle integration that has possible qualities of fire, smoke, water, ice etc, I need to experiment with it to see what works and looks best. So if anyone has any good sources you are willing to share that would be of great help.

Thanks.
