  • Help needed with ‘How to make a crowd’ in Particular.

    Posted by Neil Harris on October 20, 2005 at 8:10 pm

    Hi there!

    I’m using Particular to make a huge crowd using the tutorial from the trapcode website.

    my problem is that i’m getting ‘crowd’ popping up well into my animation.

    i have key framed my particles/sec from 0 – 2000 in the first sec but still getting popping up at around 5 secs…

    also, this might be a stupid question but how do i affect overall density of the comp ( the amount of crowd) ?? this might be a really stupid question but i’m struggling!!

    thanks

    Neil

    Hi Neil,

    I agree with you, using Particular to do that kind of thing can get fairly tricky. While it CAN be done in Particular, I would suggest using Trapcode Echospace for this kind of thing instead, it’s exactly what it’s designed for. There’s a free demo on the Trapcode site. Hope that helps, let us know how it works out.

    Too late for echospace on this ‘particular’ job (‘scuse the pun)

    will look at echospace when the wolf has stopped salivating at my door…
