  • Trapcode Suite 16 Particular “Orient to Motion”

    Posted by Adrian Scherzinger on November 30, 2020 at 3:03 pm

    Hi
    I just installed the new Particular in After Effects. There is something not working anymore:
    I have a swarm of fish following a Motion Path. In the older particular, I was able to affect the position of the swarm by a turbulence field and some small spin. AND each fish still aligned its direction to its individual motion (Orient to Motion).
    With the new particular, Orient to Motion is not aligning each individual fish anymore to its individual direction. They only orient to the Motion Path.
    Is this not possible anymore? Am I doing something worg?
    Please Help
    Thanks

    Finaly found the solution by prerendering my custom sprite…

    Glad you got it working!

    Rather than using Motion Path, I’d suggest using the new flocking system. You’ll get much better-looking motion on the fish.

    Bumping this post, I have the same problem. I have a path and I want the arrows to follow the motion path.. The tutorial I am following still has the “Orient to Motion” in on or off option.. The new version now has the dial button from 0%-100%.. When I try messing up the Orient to Motion dials, the direction of the arrows are random.

    Thoughts?
