I think it's some type of bug because the cameras = zoom affects the result, as well as the position. I can't upload a project file at the moment but I will when I get the opp= ortunity (it's only 28k). Hopefully someone will identify an obvious thi= ng I have overlooked. The only unusual aspect of the project is that there is a world transform= ation that slowly rotates the y axis. I think there's a bug that mis-cal= culates the distance from a particle to the camera when the world transfo= rmation is animated. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Jim Curtis [mailto:jpcurtis@me.com] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2012 11:38 AM To: 'After Effects Mail List' Subject: Re: [AE] Particular particles popping off Could they be popping behind the camera? Try moving your camera back an= d zooming in, or something similar, like moving the producer back in Z.

The problem also responds to th= e camera's zoom setting, ie. zooming in and out can make particles pop on= or off, even though the camera position isn't changing. > Any suggestions for something I've overlooked? > > -Chris. > > PS.
