    Howdy!

    I’m trying to animate shapes for a background element to hover around slowly. I’ve tried emitters and such and they tend to “shoot” things around, where I just want the objects to subtly float around within a small radius. Kind of like dust in sunlight: really slow, not moving in any direction too much.

    Should I go Thinking Particles? If so, is there something near a preset I can use? The math can get alittle complicated for my wee brain (and of course, I’m under a deadline!).

    Thanks!

    one possibility
    TP presets
    -Volume emitter (shot for 1 frame unless you want multiplying dust specs)
    -Wind of some sort with low speed and fairly high Turbulence.
