The Matrix Raining Code:Reloaded, this time with Particular and a much more stylised kind of effect using a custom particle. I’ll be going on to make something on this in 3D but still in AE, using AE’s 3d space to adapt the effect which is looking pretty good at the moment, but you might have to wait a while before it’s finished. Regardless, this is a cool effect.
I´m interisstet on the matrix effecter
Nice tutorial. I originally learned how to do the raining text from your first Matrix Text tutorial. It’s been ages since I checked this site, just been playin around in After Effects and thought I’d have a look at this place and lo and behold…….a make-over
All in all, I can’t wait for the next one with the 3D Effect. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, nice to know it’s appreciated
that’s really awesome
but please i need the name of the programme you used in part one
and the code in the pic
If you mean the plug-in, it’s Trapcode’s Particular.
Regards,
which programe you used to make this matrix??
Adobe After Effects.
thanks alot but can i ask you somthing else ???
i need a link to download this tutorial not only for waching
At this time the tutorial isn’t available for download i’m afraid.
For the indefinite future they’ll be viewable only from the site.
ok but can i ask one more question??

The font can be found at
http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=2555
thanks alot for your kindness
but can you tell me how do i add it in my project??
and thanks a gain for this awesome work
i mean the font
You need to install the font.
Control panel > fonts > file > install new font, locate your font and install. It will then be available in all your programs.
thanks alot i’ll try it and tell you
there is something else
i downloaded adobe after effect 6.5
and i dont knoe how to install trapcode’s particular
how can i install this plug in???
If you’ve got Particular from trapcode.com, it should come with an executable file that does the whole installation process for you.
another question please
can i ask you a favor ???
i need a valid link for this program (adobe after effects) the version you used
and please i want it full or with crack
please help me
another thing
in tutorial 1 you began with a picture with this font in it
how did you made it ??
or whre can i get it???
(not the font)
I don’t provide or use pirated software, if you want the program you’ll either have to get the trial or buy it.
ok thanks alot i made the first tutorial and it is good
i have another question
in minute 5.06 in tutorial 1 you opened the tool (wiggler)
i’ve done it the same as you but the button ((apply)) is not activated
what can i do??
this is the pic i’m talkin about
http://www.m5zn.com/uploads/37a11a31ec.JPG
weres control panel located at so i can install my matrix font
Assuming you’re on Windows,
Start > Control Panel. Failing that, just type it into the address bar where you’d see something like ‘My Documents’, replace with ‘Control Panel’.
then it says pick a category.
Switch to classic mode.
ok i figured it out. but on other thing. when im in the composition custom particles i click on animator and then range selector 1 and then i have to click on thbe stopwatch next to start so i can type in wiggler. when i click on the stopwatch it dosent let me type in wiggler, like on your tutorial. i click on the stop watch but it hi lights the stopwatch and want let me type. what do i do.
Alt-click the stopwatch for the expression pane.
one more thing
on render, i click lossless and chose QuickTime Media for my format. Then under video format options what should be the compression type.
Sorenson 3 or H.264 is pretty good for web compression if you plan on putting your stuff online. If you’re looking for an intemdiary codec then Animation and PNG are lossless formats, but the file size will be pretty heavy.

and one more thing
this is totally off the subject, but how can you add slow motion to my clips.
i have some footage that has gun shot effect. theres a clip were my friend is diving while shoting and i wanted to know how to add slow motion. theres other programs i use to add slow motion, but those other programs i used added slow motion to the hole clip. i just want to know how to add slow motion to part of a clip. not the whole clip, but just part of a clip.
There are a couple of ways of doing it. Look into time remapping and also time stretching. For time remapping, right click your layer > time > time remapping. Here you can adjust keyframes for how fast sections of a clip play at. It’s probably easiest if you get the graph view up, go to speed and tinker from there.

are u going to make a muzzle flash tutorial
Perhaps at some point, i’d have to acquire some gun firing footage.
Hi,
Ok first I would like to say this is a great tutorial really, I think people schould use video tutorials alot more it’s way more easyier for the newbies like myself to learn the program this way .
Anyway I just got After effects and I still need to learn alot about it. Right now i’m trying your tutorial and i’m stuck at the part where i need to type the text, I just can’t start a new line… I tried different key combinations but i just can’t find the right one, could you give me the key combination please ?
Thx in advance ! and please make more tutorials , they are great !
shift+enter is generally used for new-lines.
I tried that it doesn’t work, he places the cursor back in the beginning of the line.
I also tried alt+enter , ctrl+enter, alt+shift+enter, none of them work…
the only way he creates a new line is by making a new text layer, but that’s not normal…
Happy matrixing
Hi, nice tutorial!
How do you create the 3d cylindrical fallin effect?
I would be really pleased if you could explain it.
greetings
Thanks for a nice tutorial, I would love to see a tutorial on the 3D cylindrical effect too. I’ve a rendering question though. How long does it take for you to render the matrix clip? It’s taking me about 15 h which is a tad too much even on my computer…
Hi,
It was a while ago but, i think about 40 minutes to an hour. The rendering is really determined by teh amount of particles i would imagine, and how spread out they are and such.
Hi, great tutorial!
But I have some problems which I can’t really explain, so could you upload the After Effects project file somewhere, please?
Thanks in advance!
Nathan.
Hi, Great matrix!!! i hope you still on air for replying after 1 year because i have a problem. for example at 11:24 in the composition from the foreground particle, a custom particle (the text) just diappears and 6 frames later it pops up again. The stream of letters just disappear and a few frames later it streams on. The same for the middel and background, the custum particles. I tweaked a lot of parameters but i can’t figure out why it behaves like this. Can you help me?
thxs a lot!
Hi Rhys,
Is it possible to purchase a copy of this effect to use in AE CS3 [1920 X 1080] to overlay a scene I’m working on for my indie movie? I need it to be able to flow over a background scene and the letters need to be Greek alphabet letters, not the matrix letters. I’m quite happy to pay for this.
