  hi, i know this must be something so basic, but i’ll appreciate your help since i’m new to this whole thing..
  using trapcode particular, i’m trying to make a custom shape emitting from the tail of a dog as it is moving. how do i make the emitter point position so that it moves along with the tail?

  I can’t imagine that you can track the dog’s tail,
  so you’ll need to keyframe it by hand !

  cya,

  If you can’t track it, you may need to keyframe it manually. One thing that might help you is to attach the emitter to a light layer. This will make it much easier to visualize where the emitter is and which direction it’s pointing.
