You could also try using real line shaped solids and a few more expressions. If you need to find out more, just follow the link in my signature.

[michael] “It looks like a bug to me.”

That’s no bug, it’s a simple mathematical problem (internally rotations are calculated in radians and yield the same results every 180 degrees , in 3D circles this is referred to as gimbal lock). Unless you use an conditional expression, you can’t really resolve this and even then it’s going to cause problems. Maybe Dan can come up with something, but it’s the end of the day for may and my brain ‘s too munched… Sorry to not be more helpful.

[Asaf Billet] ”
is there any way to transfer the vector info to masks in AE ?
(besides copy + pasting each mask)”

Nope. Not yet, anyway. Maybe some later version of AE will include such a useful feature…

Chris, could you please stop beting me everytime ;o). I’m close to despair for never being the first to answer such posts *giggle*.

Huh? what do you mean? Which type of software? Plugin or standalone? In which context? What types of particle effects are you looking for? Could be anything from a scientific wind tunnel simulator to pseudo-particle effects created with expressions… You need be more specific. Assuming you are strictly staying within tha AE context, Trapcode’s Particular is the only really viable option at the time being (simply ignoring those preset-typelimted particle systems provided in some plugin suites) and some time this here an AE version of particleIllusion is supposed to come out, but that’s as good as it gets in AE land. For more serious stuff save a little more money and get a 3D program.

They are in a separate directory on the install CD (dunno how the structure is for the english retail version, though; should be something like “additional” or “support files”) and wil then appear under the “window” menu.
