    I need to make a the shape of a spider in the form of a cloud.
    It needs to very slightly evolve and transform, just like how real clouds change shapes in the sky.
    This needs to be very photo real.

    I am thinking of the best way to tackle this. Trapcode particular comes to mind, but you can not have particles emit form a mask, or shape in particular.

    Any ideas on how to pull this off?
    I am sure this has been done before, if anyone has any reference, or perhaps even a tutorial, please point me in the right direction.

    Thanks!

    I could be wrong, but can’t you set particles to be emitted by a layer (and make that layer have the shape you want?)
