    hi.
    i already asked about to animate a swarm of birds with particular.
    it looks quite realistic.
    but now i want to make the swarm a change of direction (180degree)

    i tried the motion path with light layers…but it looks very fitfully.
    the birds didtn change the direction smothly.

    thanks for any ideas

    When using a motion path in Particular the particles should follow the path precisely, including the spatial and temporal interpolation of the keyframes.

    If the motion path changes direction too quickly you should consider changing the interpolation of the keyframe, try using easy-ease and broadening the bezier handles of the keyframe.

    maybe i have to try it in 3d 😉
