  scale particle over lifetime

  Posted by Jordanderson on March 1, 2006 at 12:54 am

  I’m trying to have the size of each particle scale over it’s lifetime, start small at creation, and then increase. How do you make each particle scale on it’s own? I tried increasing the scale on the layer that it’s maped too but new particles are emited at the same size as earlier ones have grown to. I’m using 7 with particle playground.

  Use a property mapper that goes from full-screen, dark gray to full-screen, white for the duration that you want your particles to grow. Ensure that this is done in a precomp.
  Then just link scale to this property mapper.
