    This was posted in an older thread, but thought it would be more visible as a new topic. If you’re interested in seeing how you can do a lower third using particleIllusion only (and some images created in your favorite paint application), take a look.

    Ok, I’ve finally got the lower third example project together.

    The key is using an image’s alpha channel to define the lower third area along with the “stencil” layer transparency option. You should be able to figure it out by analyzing the project file.

    particleIllusion 3.0 only.

    Alan,

    Had a look at the Project File and even I find it a little confusing.
    Maybe this is a good subject for one of your Video Tuts?
    Also, be good if you could show a Lower Third actually being created by a Particle (might be a good companion piece to Elvis’s Disintegration Tut).
    Just an idea.

    ps.
    Is it me or has Elvis and Aharon been scarily quiet in recent times…

    I’ll whip something together — maybe over the holiday weekend. I’d really like to do a video tutorial every 2 weeks, but I’m finding it impossible to stick to that schedule right now. Maybe I need to do more “freeform” tutorials, where I just record whatever I do… we’ll see.

    Elvis and Aharon have both decided to boycott this forum until the AE plugin is ready. Just kidding — they are both crazy-busy these days with various projects. Elvis hasn’t had the time to fire up particleIllusion in months I think I remember him saying recently.

    Ha, all the tutorials are much appreciated, but you should have a break over the holiday weekend!
    Having said that, I just bought Elvis’s ‘The Apprentice Magician’s Guide to
    particleIllusion!’ for something to do over the break. Always something to learn, so I can’t talk…
    And you know you’ve set yourself up for someone to ask about the AE plug-in now…
