    Hey,
    I was wondering if it is at all posible to make the particles connect (like in Plexus 2) with trapcode particular or form or any trapcode software for that matter. I already have them. I really love that geometric effect that is made with Plexus 2 where the different spheres are connected with lines and was wondering if it was possible to make it with particular… i know that particular prides itself on being very organic and not blocky but maybe with a little luck it could pull it off.
    Thanks!

    -Tim

    Sorry, that can’t be done with any of the trapcode suites. Far as I know, Plexus and Newton2 are the ways to pull off that look, without individually keyframing and creating each element.

    Thanks that is what i figured.

    Next question and this one might be obvious but do the particles made with Plexus get effected by Newton individually or is it just the group of them… or do they not get effected at all (that would be dumb)

    Thanks again for all the help.

    I don’t know the answer to that, you may want to post a new question to the forum.
