Using a Pre-Comp as particle in Particular
Hi Folks,
I’m trying to make a transition which has lots of random squares which magnify portions of the screen.
I tried to do this by setting up a 200×200 pre comp which has an adjustment layer with the magnify plugin on it.
The adjustment layer works fine, but when I hook it up as a sprite, or textured poly in Particular, there’s no magnification.
Also tried to Pre-comp, just in case.. but no.Anyone got any clues as to how I might get this working?
Cheers,
Moog

You might create a precomp with some particles in it that have a gradient inside them and use that precomp to drive a Displacement Map effect.
Alternatively, you could use Card Dance to do something similar (but in a completely different way).

Ahhh, yes – I was thinking about a gradient approach, but I couldn’t remember where I’d see something like that before.
I was in a bit of a hurry, I ended up hand animating a few squares with a magnify filter on them, then heavily distorting and pixelating the rest of the background.
Appreciate the help though 🙂
Thanks,Moog
