Particular for beam effect
Can I use particular plugin for AE to make a weapon beam?
The origin of the beam and the target that beam is hitting are moving.
I tried to make it with light as emitter, but it seems I do something wrong.
Is there a way to make particles from place 1 go in the straight line to place 2 and when reach place 2 to dissolve?
Any suggestion is welcomed… thanks -

I’d rather use Optical Flares by Video Copilot ,you can make alot of weird and creative stuff with it 🙂

Possibly… But I would still like to know if I can make it with particular cause I need the particles to go from one point to the other. I don’t know how I can make particles with optical flares.

Thats a good idea. Thanks. Beam points can be animated. Is there a way to use beam effect as path for emitted particles?

Use Particular’s motion path [link] feature.

Thanks for help… this technique is close to what I need… but still not exactly what I need…
particles need to move in straight line from A to B and A and B are constantly changing position. Like, particles will make a line of particles between these two points, moving from A to B and dying when reach B.
Anyway, thanks for advice… seems particular is not the best way to achieve this effect… kinda have to be done is some 3d program.
