    After running some tests, I found that as soon as I create the 3rd emitter & light and change the Emitter Type to Light, the new particles begin to emit from all of the other Light Emitters in the scene. Am I missing something in the naming convention here?

    I appreciate the honesty; I figured it would be difficult to understand this issue since I didn’t even no where to begin on how to describe it, so I’ll start over & try to be as succinct as possible w out leaving out any of the important details.

    I have an HD 1080 Comp with 4 layers, 2 Null Obj’s, 2 Layers containing the Particular Effect – 1 with the stock “Sphere” Particle Type & the other a custom Particle type that I created – & 2 Point lights for use as light emitters. With me so far? Good.

    Here’s the problem though, If I create a new particle layer, when I play down the timeline, the new particles, no matter what the settings, take the shape of the other 2 layers as well as its current settings and the pre-existing particle layers now take the shape of the new particles. Man I really hope that makes sense.

    I appreciate all of the input. I opted to just go ahead and roto everything by hand. The shape of the bottle was consistant throughout so it wasn’t very difficult to do. I just hate when clients make my job more difficult than it should be. But oh well that’s what we over here call…”pain in the butt fee”…and it was just a 5 second tag so it wasn’t too much of a pain. The client didn’t have access to the matte and this particular client was so non-technical they didnt’ even no what a matte was or what I could possibly be talking about so I didn’t even bother to pursue the issue. Pretty much your typical client. Anyway, thank you all for your help.

  • Thank you! I appreciate your input. I had not thought about going the particular route. Thanks again.

  • After running a few tests, this is what I came up with. I think with a little tweaking this concept should work. If there is any more feedback, I’d like to hear it. Thanks!
