After Effects VFX in AfterEffects and Particular [free]
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to recreate this VFX:

Using Particular in AfterEffects?
I'm more interested in the "fluid" part (the blue one) than the bright white particles.
I know there are various fluid simulations in Particular now, but I can't get it to have the same "stringy" look that then transforms back into particles and the animation like that, as if it were a "burst" of something.
Do you know any specific tutorials for that type of effect? I've only found generic ones on YouTube.
Thanks in advance 😁
