i thought this was the case, thanks mylenium. regarding the precomp, that would work only to change the angle of the particle but the particle would still always face the camera in the same way. good idea though and i had to try it to confirm it wouldn’t work 🙂

thanks for the pete’s link, i hadn’t heard of those before, lots of good stuff in there. i had already tried the scale wipe and couldn’t really get it to do what i wanted. smear looks like it could be closer. anyway, thanks for the tip 🙂
