Trapcode — Particular

By 8 seconds, the emitter's Particles/sec ramps down. The last few specks drift, collide softly (Aux System spawns a faint glow on impact), and fade via Opacity over Life : a slow, graceful exit.

The camera pushes through a dark volumetric fog. No particles yet—just the suggestion of space. trapcode particular

As they rise, a second system ignites. These particles are larger, heavier, with a Turbulence Field set to a low, rolling frequency. They spiral, caught in an invisible current. Air resistance is high—they flutter like ash from a distant, unseen fire. By 8 seconds, the emitter's Particles/sec ramps down

Then: a single emitter, hidden off-screen left. It breathes once. By 8 seconds

Melancholic, ethereal, slightly dystopian.
