Desperatly Need Help With An Effect!!
Hey Everyone,
Im on a college deadline, I have a short film, but one shot involves a character shooting out a beam of particles that fade away, i have attached a GIF which is the closest i could find on what i intend to do.
Can anyone please help me with how i go about doing this, and what to use? i cant find ANY tutorials that cover particles following a motion path and then editing them to be suitable.
So far i have got Trapcodes Particular and tried using motion paths, but i just cant get it to animate to shoot out the mouth and fade away into a ball, like the gif shown.
THANKYOU SO MUCH, to anyone that can help me, here is the GIF

I did a similar project during my sophomore year at my college, but instead had the beam comming out from someone’s fingers in the shape of a pointed gun… take a look

What I did was use the beam effect with a lense flare and then threw a gif in there at the end (which could also be created through shatter as well). I am not too knowledgable with particle motion paths right now, but I hope that helps!
