Kevin,

also I’m using trapcode and I think Ayato uses another plugin.. that is much more expensive than trapcode, i think..

Layer emit wasnt working for me, but someone else in this forum assisted me, so Kevin and Steve, I will try your suggestions and get back to you!
Thank you sooo much…

Dwayne..

DARBY!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Your analysis was right and your suggestion made a difference..
i just thought particular used only visible party of the comp… not the entire width..I see i was wrong..

thanks again

Dwayne

anyone??

[Dwayne Neckles]

Hmm I tried this but perhaps I was doing something wrong. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Mike,

Taking my first crack at it:

This is what you suggested with x scaled wide first and then it all set to 100.. is that what u were thinking?

Playing around this is with the x and y scaled at the same time?

Maybe adding some dust particles emitting from it after it settles..would add to the realism..

Wow, awesome detail and analysis Mike.

You knew exactly what I wanted to do and practically laid it out.

I’ll start on it and let you know.
