    Hi everybody!

    In Trapcode Particular, is there a way to select specific axes along which the particles travel at a given velocity? I would like my particles to have a subtle x&y movement without moving along the z axis – otherwise they suddenly pop in through the other particles.

    This is probably very straightforward, so thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Use the Wind X and Wind Y settings, located under Physics > Air.
