Hi

Yes, Particular or 3DStroke. When using Particular, use only a few particles, emit them all at the first frame, but let them have no velocity at all. This way they will be “stuck” to the emitter position, which you can freely animate. Now all you need is to tweak their look and enable the Aux system to draw the actual trails.

thanks Mylenium,
it is now a little bit similar. my next question is:
the solid with particular is fine – but I dont want to animate the position xy I woukd like that the partikels should start on a path I have drawn in illustrator.
I imported the path into AE on a seperate solid and tried to connect with layer but there happens nothing.
what is wrong ?
thanks again -
Hi
use the new feature “Motion Path” in Particular 1.5
-
thanks for answering
what I tried:
light with the name: Motion Path 1
solid with particular and the illustrator path which appeares as mask
particular – physics – air: Motion Path 1BUT: how could I say to the light: follow my illustrator path ???
thanks again -
