Trapcode Form – custom particle/colour map problem
I’m trying to use Trapcode Form to smash an image into little mosaic pieces but I can’t seem to get it to work the way I want it to. The image has been cut out in photoshop and I’m using a separate Form layer to colour map it. Trouble is each individual particle assumes the shape of the outline of the image. I would use the custom particle parameter to fix this but it turns out you can have either a custom colour map or a custom particle – not both. Am I doing something wrong – or is the Form plugin not advanced enough to deal with both custom particles and colour maps at the same time?

It sounds like you want Form to split your image spatially, it cannot do that. But there are some plugs that can: Shatter, Card Dance I think..
The closest you can get in Form is to use a really small sphere particle and the image as Color map over XY. It will be a “disintegration” effect, not shatter.
