  After Effects > Trapcode Particular > Sprite Particle rotation

  Posted by Matt James on November 14, 2017 at 10:21 am

  Hi all.

  Feel free to berate me as the answer is probably right in front of my nose;

  I have a sprite particle in Particular with a small Z rotation on it so it slowly rotates. Positive = clockwise, negative = anti/counter clockwise.

  I’m sure that in the past I have managed to have half the particles rotate CW and half CCW but I can’t for the life of me work out how to do it now.

  Thanks in advance!

  You have a property called random Z rotation (or something like that). Thats what you should change (Its totally counterintuitive, I know)

  I got really pissed when I discovered that Stardust has that same hindrance… I had to duplicate the emitter just so I could get particles to spin the other way.

  Thats one way to do it too with particular if you want the exactly same rotation value (and not a random one), just CW and CCW. Duplicate the effect with properties, and change the rotation value and the seed number.
