  • What are the ideal tweaks and settings in Trapcode Particular to make water spray out of a hose?

    Posted by Sebastian Lee on May 5, 2014 at 4:27 am

    I have a video of someone holding a hose without water showering out of it hence I’m gonna fake one using Trapcode Particular but I’m not too pro to handle that fx. Could anyone kindly tell me the best tweaks and settings for making it look like the hose spraying out water? Don’t have to be very realistic but as long as it looks like a good job then it’s alright lol

    You’d want to mess with the opacity over life and size over life as well as the gravity or wind settings. It would just be feathered spheres in an off-white color and you should be pretty close.
