  • Trapcode particular child emission

    I am trying to create a layer grid emitter, (basically some dots that form basic shapes), that I can move in space and leave a trial of dots with a child emitter. After I create the layer grid emitter, which I can move by moving the referenced layer, I am trying to make a child emitter that leaves a trail. If I turn up velocity I can see particles emitting from the parent particles, but if I turn down velocity, they just stay stuck to parent instead of leaving a trail.

    Have you tried upping the life of the Aux/Child particles, with their velocity set to 0, they should hang around longer which should create the trail you’re after.
