  • Swirling petals effect

    Posted by Dan Rolfe on May 17, 2015 at 11:03 pm

    I am attempting to replicate the animation of the following video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2YCteFVSUM

    I am using Trapcode Particular (which I have used to make the fire); but I cannot figure out how to replicate the swirling petal effect. I have the sprites of the petals, but cannot get them to move in the way shown in the video.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That is a terrible animation overall.

    The petals are pretty nice though.

    Use the Turbulent Field under Physics>Air to mess with the petals’ position.
