Particles that follow a path
Okay before you burn me at the stake for asking such a seemingly stupid question, let me explain: I don’t want the emitter to follow a path just the particles themselves.
Say I have these ball particles with light tails (like an electron) I want to make it so that the ball portion or the head, follows a circular path.
I tried doing this by parenting the emitter to a null that followed a circular path but it didn’t work. The particles did not really follow the circle so much as shoot off from it. Also I want the head portion to be on the path not driving away from it.
Any help would be much appreciated,, thanx
btws I’ve been using Particular cos I want those cool light tails

I’d use Vegas to create the ballheads (or headballs) and use the more sophisticated options in Vegas to create the balltails (or headtails).
The documentation for Vegas is lacking but Todd’s AE Community Help should turn up something.
I’ve never used Particular.

You’re welcome but using Vegas isn’t easy. This might not be a solution as much as an exploration of alternatives.
