  Form particles to a shape

  Posted by Adam Lewen on April 22, 2021 at 9:27 pm

  Hello again forum!

  Another question, this time regarding particles.

  I am trying to achieve a starry night sky video

  where at a certain point in time, most of the stars (a seperated layer of particles?) are making a slow move (hopefully a customized path in a way) and form a shape of a ship… (made out of stars.

  I made a rough sketch (not so realistic and way too many stars) to try and explain –

  Also, the morph here is not customized in a path, as I am not sure how to achieve this

  I am looking for a more organic, spiral shift from the side…

  I hope I am clear. I tried using Form.

  here is a direction of the move I am trying to describe:

  Have you tried the scatter effect or maybe CC Ball Action?
