  particle playground effect – how to implode a layer?

  Posted by Sans.otto on May 13, 2007 at 11:29 am

  Hi guys a need yoor help!:)

  I have to make an implosion with particle!
  i know two differet effect to do this, the trapcode plugin( yes, I posted in the trapcode forum;)), and the particle playground effect.

  i set particle playground like “layer explosion” and it’s work great: the layer explodes in thousands and thousands particles.

  But I want to make the opposite: I want to implode the layer, from thousands particle to no-one, like a reverse-time but not reversed 🙁
  How can I do?

  thanks,

  Andrea

  Now i dont really stick to pp that much but perhaps if there is a velocity setting or something of the sort you should put it in the negatives, im pretty postive this can be done with particular but im not sure.
