Activity Forums Boris FX Particle Illusion Genie Effect

  • Posted by Girshon Rutstein on April 30, 2007 at 2:09 pm

    Hi,
    how do I create a magic lamp, genie effect? I looked to all preset trailers and they all have a large head and the tail is thin and dying. I need small nozzle size start and enlarging at the end that will act like a snake.

    Thanks a lot,

    You can tweak any of those trailers by going into the Size over Life graph of its particle types, and changing them around. If they have large heads and small tails, then that means their initial values at 0.0 will be high, and will get smaller until 1.0 (the end of each particles life). Just reverse that to get a small start and a large bottom.

    Thank you Elvis, I just ordered your DVD plus the fusion.
    I hope it’s easy to understand and use, because I have 200 other software tutorials to study. My head is only 8Gb of RAM and 10 Trb of space, and thats it. 🙂
