  Native AECC ‘reverse explosion’ effect?

  Posted by Eric Chard on July 8, 2013 at 6:45 am

  What’s a likely approach to use with native tools to create a reverse sparkle explosion (implosion, I guess) in AECC?

  Doesn’t have to look like much of anything, just twinkly, streamery white sparks.

  Thanks.

  It certainly may come to that as a practical matter, but that would chain me to whatever I rendered out as an explosion, multiplying files. I’d prefer something all in one project.

  And, after all, it ‘should’ be possible, with all this technology. >;^)

  Inward, in this case.

  I faked it w/a bitmap and scaling w/mucho motion blur. I guess I coulda made the bitmap using Shape Layers, but I hadn’t even HEARD of Shape Layers until 3 weeks ago.
