My mistake about sending you to the PI forum, I though I was still on the Cow AE forum, allniters for us old folks are deadly.

Here’s a Q for the PI founder since he’ll probably see this:

Can the AE PI plugin use Illustrator files (as imported layers in AE) for particles. If so, since AE makes sall swfs from AI shapes, maybe AE will output vector particle creations. Hmmm. The thought is mind boggling. Probably too good to be true.

Go ask at the particle Illusion forum:

I’ve just started playing with it, and it produces AVI’s or targa sequences. Rumor from the founder has an After Effects PI plugin coming out soon. Since AE outputs swfs (although rather fat jpegs for raster stuff) you can output PI effects as swfs in the future.

Wow, that is great.

And implementing the slider was a snap. Now I can see how it can be done easily.

Thanks.

Ayato’s directions can be a bit cryptic, so there are many posts here seeking help on doing his examples.

AE is used a lot (at least some) in the Art community (is there such a thing as a community of outcasts… art mode kicking in here), experimental video and such. Google it. I’m still working on a piece (hey, I got the art talk down) of a redwood forest scene, all from stills, then brought to life with AE effects. Now if I can just get the new Pope to let me project it onto the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel when he’s outta town… hmmm.
