    I’m trying to make it appear as if the shattering of my shape falls inward instead of outward. Instead of exploding out, I want it to fall inward. How would this be done? Any help, appreciated.

    if the tutorial that jon gave you didn’t help you out with this one, you’d just move the force(s) to the front side of the layer… that way the force(s) will push the pieces backwards.

    you should start a new thread for a new issue…

    but by the images you sent and the specs you gave for your machine, you should disable ‘render multiple frames simultaneously’ in the ‘memory and multi-processing settings’.

    i think i’d also increase the ‘ram to leave for other applications’ to 1gb.

    if that doesn’t help in itself… you’ll need to figure out how to decrease the 7920×7080 image size.

    if you have a layer is in fact that large, you’ll want to reduce its size by either reducing the resolution i something like photoshop, or by breaking it up into smaller pieces, like thirds or quarters, then combining them back together in after effects to look like one layer.

    if it is a 3d layer that, due to camera position, ae needs to make it that large to render it, then you might need to break up the layer into smaller pieces (like i mentioned above) or do multiple renders with alpha channels for individual parts/elements of the comp and re-composite those renders for the final.

    This is a pretty elementary question, but how do I move the force to the front of the layer? I’ve been trying to for the past couple hours and can’t figure it out.
