Using a Path as an emitter
Hi guys,
I’ve recently been tasked with an animation and although I got most of it to an acceptable level, I would like to add a few polishes.
One of the things I would like to do, is to use the mask path as an emitter source, to help create a more organic look to my edges, as I am animating a mask moving across a halftone texture.In an ideal setting, I would have a whole lot of ellipse particles behave like a school of fish to morph between shapes in an organic way, but I am unable to do this, as I am not skilled enough in After Effects to do such an exercise.
Do you have any advice for me on the above?
Thanks

You could use whatever effect you want to render a stroke on the mask (Vegas, Stroke, etc.) and then use CC Ball Action to create little particles. You can make them turbulently move around. Might do what you want.
