  Trapcode Particular emitting particles into a shape

  Posted by Shawn Beeb on January 30, 2012 at 11:35 pm

  Hi-
  I need to know if anyone thinks this is possible, before I keep going down this road.
  USing Trapcode Particular, I would like to have random particles emit from a specific location and build into a shape. They could even just fill up a shape mask.
  I am almost thinking I would need to do this in reverse, start with the shape and have it break up into particles that move back to a central point and then reverse it.

  Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this…
  Shawn

  Yup, use a Layer Emitter and then reverse the effect.
