  Hi guys,

  I’m new the COW here!????
  Recently have an issue regarding to trapcode particular plugin.

  As you seen in the snapshot, i have parented every 3D layers & lights to a Master null which tracked my footage that i can’t show now.
  Everything are fine, except particular effects, i tried to tweak “World Transfrom” from the sub-menu, but things ain’t get right.

  Any suggestion please?

  **p/s : i am not good in expression, i can provide you the layers name!
  I am truly appreciate if this issue could be solve, because the deadline is around the corner.????

  THANK YOU GURU!!

  Where is the Particular supposed to be?
  If you’ve 3D tracked the footage, you can create a null where the emitter should be and link the emitter position to it with the expression pick whip. Changing Particular world settings is just going to complicate matters, those should be left alone.

  Thanks for the advice by not changing the world transformation.
  The particle supposed to be on thr map I drawn.
  I used a null to pick whipthe tracking null. The lights are in place but the particle doesn’t emitting on the same spot as the lights are.
  Do I have to link any attributes on trapcode particular to make it right?

  Ok, so you want Particular to emit from the lights? Change the emitter type to “Lights”, see details here.
