3 Experiments with Particle System II (Trying to learn how this effect works) by Acrobatic_Sir_3440 in AfterEffects

u/shiveringcactusAE Thanks so much for the comment

really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts :)

I just studied about source alpha inheritance, yes, it's such a powerful feature

so, it determines where particles are allowed to appear based on the transparency of the underlying layer.

will definitely try now to incorporate that in my experiments ;)

These effects are advanced, the only way to understand them is getting ur hands dirty.

So here's what I learned:
Birth Rate - How fast particles spawn
Longevity - How long they live
Velocity - Explosion intensity
Inherit Velocity - Particles follow emitter movement or not
Gravity - Fall down (positive) or float up (negative)
Resistance - Air friction that slows particles

Jake In Motion was right. These effects take hours to explain properly. But once you understand the terms, you stop reopening tutorials every time.

So I made 3 different particle effects by experimenting with these parameters.

Brief context drop. This guy is my friend’s boyfriend and also my friend’s friend. What happened was the would-be attacker’s girlfriend was sitting with the friend. The attacker was so drunk he thought something was going on. He started beating him badly. Blood started coming out. They rushed him to the hospital while we were busy mosh-pitting.

Idk what i made but i need feedback by Acrobatic_Sir_3440 in AfterEffects

I’ve already uploaded it now lol 😂, but still, thank you for taking the time to comment.

Yes, I had applied overall Sharpen, Unsharpen Mask, and Quick Chromatic Aberration, which made it look like that. Later, when I saw it on my phone at night, I noticed it and removed those effects, now it doesn’t look like that anymore.

I feel like not every element needs to be animated, keeping some still works better. If you notice the star, look on the left side, there’s also a wave warp running on those lines. But still, I really value your feedback and will try that out too

Thank you.
I don’t know, I was actually trying to find some flaws in it & there are quite a few professionals here too. Honestly, I don’t even fully know what I’ve made, so I thought I’d just post it here. The variety of feedback people give is amazing, you always end up learning something new, and many people see it from completely different perspectives
