    I am creating a partical system using trapcode particular. My particle is an animated wing flapping butterfly. The problem is that all of the butterfly particles are in unison, flapping their wings like a giant commie butterfly army, lol. Is there a way to randomize the particles?

    hahahaa….that might have been the funniest post I think I’ve ever read on here. Anyways, try setting the “Time Sampling” paramater to “Random loop”…this should make your butterfly start at a random point through its animation, and then once it gets to the end, it will keep looping.
