When is this product shipping?
Why dont you make a download link after payment, not many of us like to wait for a software being delivered overseas, like those of us in the UK.
I think you should look into this, because i was ready to purchase the product, but lost interest after realizing there is no download link after payment and i have to wait for shipping which sucks big time.
Sunny… there wil be a download link. This is on PREORDER. As in, the product is done, but not shipping. I will let everyone know as soon as it is available. I have to watch the final check disc and approve it, and then they will proceed. I am waiting for the check disc from Class on Demand right now.
Thanks Harry, your “drifting titles” and the 2 training videos of trapcode form which i also purchased made me like the way you teach and thats why i went crazy when i found out you have training on Particular 2. Good stuff and cant wait when its officially out.
Same here! I’m from UK too and I really liked Harry’s teaching methods.
Just about to purchase the DVD if there is a download link available.
There is a streaming option and a DVD, no download option. Unfortunately, Class on Demand has taken it upon themselves to inconvenience the customer to avoid piracy. Yeah, it sucks to be pirated (Which the first disc was…a LOT) but, it also sucks to have an army of less than happy customers. This is my last title with Class on Demand.
I have the Complete Training for the previous version of Particular. What’s different in this Complete training, that isn’t in the other Complete training?
Best,
Jim
Good question James.
Overall, even without the bonus material, the content is about twice the length of the prior DVD. Obviously, there are the new topics to cover, such as streaklets, particle shading and shadowlets, 3D orientation and more. In addition to that, I went into more depth on topics like Turbulence controls, random distribution. Plus, I added a couple review sections.
When will this product be available?
Thank you
when is it going to be out?
Hopefully we can gather some knowledge to get results like these:

Thanks!
Finally! I can´t wait to see a teaser…
its me again Sunny, Harry there is still no download link? to purchase the Complete Training Trapcode Particular 2, this is about a month now since you said there would be one.
Sunny:
No one wants this disc to be released more than me. It represents a significant time investment of which I’ve seen $0 so far.
That said, I have absolutely no control over the timing of the release. I just supply the content.
I first announced the pre-order a month a ago. It is still available for pre-order, but I am not aware of the shipping date as of yet. I’ll check with Class on Demand tomorrow and get an update on duplication and fulfillment of pre-orders.
Shipping date is next Tuesday, June 21!
Wow, this must be driving you nuts Harry, I’ve also be chomping at the bit waiting for the download
Even if they have had some issue with the disc production they could still be allowing us to purchase and download… and you could finally be collecting the cash!

Next time make sure you have the product ready before you announced. OK Harry! you piss me off already!
and head to videocopilot so u can learn how to make some product presentations not just some kind of text list.
I don’t understand your anger, Martin. I announced that this was on pre-order, which it was. Now it is available and shipping. That’s how these things work here, at Video Co-Pilot and everywhere else.
would like to get this product, but waiting for a download option,
last time I ordered a dvd at toolfarm it took 6 weeks for delivery (the netherlands)
Hm, allthough Toolfarm says it´s available as DL (under the DVD Version), I can´t find it on the site. Cane someone give me a hint where I could DL it?
There are two separate items. Here is the download version:

Hi Harry,
thanks for your response. I am a big fan of your free and commercial tutorials. Since I am from germany I always ordered the DL versions to avoid taxes and portage. But it seems your newest training is only available as online stream on Toolfarm?
Thats bad for me, because I watch a lot of tutorials when I am on the train or so (converted for my Iphone) – In this case, streaming sucks!
I hope there is a chance that your training is available as a DL soon as possible, otherwise it would make not much sense to me at all.
I guess not answering is the way how you answer…
I am out of town in Portland right now, in company meetings.
If you need a prompt response, please email me at harry at graymachine.com.
As far as I know, both Class on Demand and Toolfarm have the streaming version. I don’t know why there is not a download version. I wish there were, but I just don’t have control over that. I’m not happy about it either.
This is the last disc I am producing with Class on Demand due to a contract.
Hi Harry,
thanks for explaining the situation. I hope there will be some commercial tutorials (as DL) from you in the near future. My all time favorite is your Milg3, explaining the whole workflow of a “real” project. Hope to see something soon
Hello … It’s the same content to buy some time, or has added something else? thank you
If you mean the Particular 1 title, it is twice the length, covering the new features in Particular 2, plus lots of new material as well as review sections.
Plus… I’ve copied an answer from further up in the comments…

Just wanted to say, great work! Also, going through the comments I was really impressed with how rude some people were and how politely you replied. You are one patient guy!
I wanted to buy this new version and somehow managed to get the old one, was a bit impatient and chose the wrong option – but I still can’t wait to start!
Thanks again and good luck with all new ventures (and adventures)
Thanks for your kind words Katerina. I am very sorry about the old version. I wish they would take that old one down. I’ll see what I can do about perhaps getting you a token to view the streaming version for version 2.
Thank you Harry, I appreciate it! If it can happen it would be great, but if not, cheers for trying. Have a good week, all the best
Yeah….very confusing ordering process. Ordered it and then selected download for the shipping option, but never got a download link.
It’s all good though…I have plenty of other material to go through, so I can be patient.
Plus, I’m refreshing my expressions knowledge by going through you Expressions series. The down-side of tutorials is that subconsciously, my brain isn’t retaining the information as readily as I would like because it knows that there’s a tutorial that I can go back to look at…except when I’m in an actual work environment where I’m supposed to know all this stuff already and can’t reference the tutorial to remember how to do it.
Hello Harry! 2.0 Particular I bought last year through Digital Juice and then I could not make practice through your video tutorials. I have not been able to get the static effect of particles in concert Crowd scene you created. I get motion, after applying 1000 particles in the first frame and 0 particles in the second frame, I do not know what happens? I await your response. Thanks!
Hi Harry
Loved the first one in the series. Is there a demo of whats created in this dvd or at least some kind of trailer with example projects?
Thank you!
I just posted one of the sample lessons. There’s two of them on Youtube, I think this one is probably more interesting.
Harry,
I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for being such a wonderful teacher. Your Particular 2 training DVD is out of this world. It demystified this very deep plug in and has re energized my work. I am now in the middle of your AE expressions training and for the first time I feel like I’m able to understand these very powerful tools. Not only are you a great designer but you also have the heart of a teacher. Thank you so much!
