particle playground v. particular
Hey folks,
I have a project that requires the use of a particle filter and until today I’d been set on using Particle playground. Today however, I’m thinking that Trapcode’s Particular may be my answer. I’d kinda prefer to use Particle Playground because it doesn’t require buying anything new, but if ya gotta do it, ya gotta do what ya gotta do, ya know?
Anyway, my challenge is this: I have artwork that is a field of grass and I need to animated flowers growing across it. In other words, the emmitter for the particle filter will be moved across the field and the particles will be a movie of a growing flower. The problem is that I need for each particle, at birth, to refer to frame 1 of the growing flower movie and for none of the particles to be synchronized.
After reading through the help files for After Effects, I’m left with the belief that Particle Playground will do everything I need for it to with the exception of addressing my problem. That’s why I’m posting to this forum; I want to know if anyone else knows of a way to get Particle Playground to do what I need for it to. Otherwise, I’ll have to cough up $300 for Trapcode’s plugin.
Anyone know of any workaround for Particle Playground?
Thanks,
Scott

Well, before I posted I did a search of the existing posts since I didn’t really want to spend the time typing out the details of my situation if someone had already addressed a similar issue. Long story short, I didn’t find anything that jumped out as addressing anything remotely similar. If anyone happens to know of a post that addresses this issue, please direct me to it.
