| > I'm having a hard time remembering how to generate particles from a shape - like a mask or the alpha of a layer. Most particles plugs have a layer emitter function that you can mask as well as various fin emitter controls. CC Particle Systems II & CC Particle world called it "Producer" and Particle Playground has a "Canon" - these are included with AE I believe. Particular, ParticleIllusion all have fancy controls for control emitters. I think layer emitters with masks are best for specific shapes, but points or basic shapes can be done with basic plugs included in AE. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ http://www.sv2dcp.com/ http://www.sv2studios.com/ A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. -Stanley Kubrick |
