  • Trapcode: Generate floating Particulars and then falling down

    Posted by Roberto Ferra on September 24, 2018 at 8:44 pm

    Hallo,
    I’m new of AE world.

    I’d like to create something like this (from 0:14 to 0:28):
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=kqnacNL2FKA

    I can’t use Air effects because I need Bounce.
    But I can’t set gravity over timeline because it’s not keyfremmable.

    I try with Physics Time Factor but it freze all parameters (particels are floating in the same x axis)

    How can I do?

    Thank you very much!

    You don’t always have to use bounce. Often you can use another particle system that shoots out from the surface you want the first set of particles to bounce off, then you can go back to your Air system. It will look like a bounce, especially with nondescript particles like the white dots in your example.
    You can also use the Aux system as that second particle set – so at least the Aux particles leap out from where the main particles strike.
