The Architect of Atmosphere: An Evaluation of Red Giant Trapcode Particular 4.1.2
You're referring to a specific plugin for motion graphics and visual effects! Red Giant Trapcode Particular 4.1.2
Particular 4.1.2 retains the classic (wind, turbulence, sphere/box forces) but refines the Bounce system: Bounce Plane: Now supports infinite planes, layers as collision surfaces, and independent floor/wall settings. Collision Events: Particles can die, bounce, slide, or stick to surfaces. The Architect of Atmosphere: An Evaluation of Red

The genius of Particular lies in its layering of forces. (Air) controls drag, wind, gravity, and turbulence. Turbulence Field —a fractal noise-based force—introduces organic, swirling chaos, mimicking smoke, fire, or a murmuration of starlings. The artist’s job is to balance Newtonian predictability with Perlin noise chaos. A perfectly straight line of particles feels robotic; a path disrupted by a subtle turbulence field feels alive.
A new physics model that makes particles behave as if they are moving through real liquids or air. It includes four customizable forces like "tube" and "ring" for creating swirling smoke or churning liquid effects.
and the intuitive UI make it accessible for those with only a "slightly above-beginner" knowledge of After Effects. Industry Standard
