Richard Rosenman has announced the release of Particle Projection for Adobe After Effects, a new plugin for generating complex particle arrays projected through the use of a displacement layer. It works by generating a 2D grid of particles and then projecting them in 3D perspective using a displacement layer’s pixel luminance value. The brighter the pixel value, the greater the particle projection. The plugin costs $69.99 and you can find out more and download a free demo from Richard Rosenman’s website.
