Particle World Comet Tale
Hi!
I’m trying to make a comet tail and use Camera Orbit Null to look at it from the front. I used Particle World on a Solid Layer. I set the physics to Jet Sideways, make some adjustments in the Particles, Physics and set the Orbit Null so it looks at the front of my tale. So when I look at my composition in 2 views, in Custom View the tale looks ok. But in my Active Camera it doesn’t expand, it just getting more narrow, which is not what I need. I need it to expand and fade out. I tried to change multiple setting, but still can’t get rid of this narrowing effect. Any ideas? Thanks!

Just realized I forgot to add a screenshot. Here it is:

is there any resistance on ..under physics…make it 0. ..if that does not help then this tutorial will…https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/3d_stroke_effect/

Yes, the resistance is set to 0. Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it doesn’t help me. He explains the way to generate particles by moving the solid layer, but I don’t do that. My base is not moving, it just producing particles.

You can set particles to fade out as the age in the opacity over life controls. You just need to draw a decreasing curve and that should get you your comet tail
