  AFX: How to restrain particles INSIDE a shape ??

  Posted by Michele Busiello on January 21, 2011 at 5:03 pm

  Hi!

  i want to animate a stylized 2d-shape of a sandclock in after effects. The sand will be animated with trapcode particular. Now i was wondering if its possible to restrain all the particles inside that sandclock shape..in order to let the particles bounce of the shape walls etc. that would look by far more realistic then just adding a simple mask. any idea how to do this ?
