  Fractal Noise settings

  Posted by John Knapich on September 6, 2010 at 9:27 pm

  Want to have some slow moving dust particles. I was given a project with 2 Fractal Noise effects.
  cannot seem to get them to move slowwwwwly in the air.
  I am guessing that the speed comes from the Evolution setting
  Fractal type is Swirly
  Noise type is Spline
  thanks

  Yes, you can keyframe Evolution to animate Fractal Noise.

  Personally, I’d use a particle system like Trapcode Particular to simulate floating dust particles — I think Particular’s physics system would make it easier to get the dust to behave the way you want.
