Dissolving text, meshes and other objects into particles. Static particle bodies and displacement forces first, then text that erodes into blowing 3D leaf sprites under wind and vortex.
Building a flowing wave with the formula emitter: mixing and summing wave shapes, giving the spline volume and flattening it into a ribbon, then stacking child systems so geometry rides the path, tracers draw tubes behind it, and sprites drift along with inherited velocity.
Modulators, tracers and nested systems: driving a system with a form that is itself moving, drawing the paths particles take, and letting a system feed children of its own.
A tour of Entropy in After Effects: creating a system, shaping an emitter, directing motion with forces, and getting a look out of the render controls.
The tutorials are recorded in the shipping plug-in. Nothing in them needs a build you cannot download today.
