    Particular respects the z space and camera that you have created. From your photos, the background is set at 0 Z space, the particles are look to be moving from behind that position to in front of it.

    Move the background to 100 or even farther back and the particles shouldn’t get cut off.

    Hey,

    first thank you for you help!
    I put the z space of the floor layer very very down.
    i make a layer with 5000px, then scale it to 500% and then put it down at z space at 5000px..
    i do all what i can, but minimum at one point the particles cut away too!
    i have no solution for it. the stroke path is too low to get one layer behind it.
    if i make a new comp for the particular, then i can make a new bg behind it, but then the lights of the particular how make the strokes dont shine on the bg.
    i must have this shining on the bg, because if not there is no good look.
    this animation have soo big problems 😀 so i cant put the strokes down to get more light on the ground, because they must have this y space..

    anybody an idea?

    I can’t see anything from the pictures that would indicate why you are having this problem. If you can put the project on an FTP site, I’d be willing to download it and see if I can figure out why your particles are getting cut off.

    YES MAN!
    Exactly this was the problem. The walls and the floor should be 3D Layer.
    Also the Null Object who is adjusted to the particular.
    Particular MUST be 2D!!

    Thats all – very easy solution.
    Thanks for all help.
