Problem Particular System Rotation with Textured Poligon
Hello,
i am trying to Rotate a simple Particle System in Textured Poligon mode made with Trapcode Particular. I did this by animating the Y Rotation Axis in the Emitter. When Rotating the system without animating it it shows the effect i am trying to get. But if I keyframe animate the Y Parameter the system is not rotating. Am i missing something here or any idea what might be wrong?
I would be so happy to have an answer to this problem 🙂

Unfortunately, I only have Particular 4, so the project opens, but I can’t tell what the issue is, I just see a white circle? I’m guessing Trapcode have moved the layer selector somewhere else.
Are you using a Sprite as the particle type, this always points towards the camera.

When you rotate the emitter, you are rotating where the emitter is facing, any particles that have spawned get their initial orientation from this, but once they left the emitter, they continue on their path and don’t care anymore what direction the emitter is facing.
As long as you are not keyframing, and you change the emitter’s rotation, it looks as if you are rotating the entire system, but when you keyframe, only new particles will face the new direction. If you’re emitting in omni directions, it might even look as if nothing is happening.
In short, you might want to rotate the world instead of the emitter, this will give the illusion fo orbiting the particle system.
