Gather a glowing stars in space to shape a moon

[Graham Quince]

Try this:

Use a shape emitter in Particular to emit the stars from a moon shape

Then convert this layer into a precomp and use Time Remapping to reverse it. The stars will flow into the moon shape.

Hello! I understand that you are trying to use the RG Particular plugin to create a scene where glowing stars in space gather together to form a moon. Here are some general steps that may help you achieve your desired effect:

1. Create a new composition in After Effects and add a solid layer to it. This will serve as your background layer.

2. Add the RG Particular plugin to the solid layer.

3. In the plugin settings, adjust the emitter settings to create a stream of glowing stars. You can adjust the size, color, and behavior of the stars to your liking.

4. Use keyframes to animate the stars, making them move towards the center of the composition. You can also adjust the particle velocity and gravity settings to make the stars move in a more natural way.

5. Once the stars have gathered in the center of the composition, use another layer to create the moon. You can use a circular shape layer or a pre-made moon graphic.

6. Use keyframes to animate the moon layer, making it grow in size as the stars gather around it. You can also adjust the opacity and color of the moon to make it look more realistic.

These are just general guidelines to get you started. The specific settings and techniques will depend on the effect you are trying to achieve and the specific version of the RG Particular plugin you are using. I suggest experimenting with different settings and watching tutorials online to get a better understanding of how the plugin works. Good luck!
