What's New in Form 2
With the release of Form 2, this plug-in is even more powerful and easier to use. Here is a list of the major changes from Form 1.0 and 1.1. If you are familiar with Trapcode Particular 2, you will find that many of the new features are familiar.
The Layer Map group is more powerful with some helpful additions.
- There is a new Rotation subgroup. Layer Map Rotation is very powerful and you will love it.
- Layer Maps are no longer disabled when the Base Form> Sphere is set. Form 2 does support Layer Map inputs for Sphere Shapes.
- Each Layer Map subgroup has an Invert Map checkbox. This feature saves you from having to create precomps of the same map, only inverted, to get a desired effect.
The Particle Type options have changed quite a bit.
- Smokelet particle type was removed.
- Streaklet particle type was added.
- Textured Polygon, Textured Polygon Colorize and Textured Polygon Fill particle types were added.
- Custom, Custom Colorize and Custom Fill particle types have been renamed to Sprite, Sprite Colorize and Sprite Fill.
