I wish i knew what had changed. A restart might fix it, but ive been too busy to do one. I did not do anything. But i had accidentally left my computer on overnight. I restarted it this morning. And that was all i did.

[Richard Garabedain]

its just a wiggle. I did lower the wiggle amount, that helped and will work well enough if i don’t get a definite answer.

I have not animated anything yet. Everything is the center of the comp.

[Richard Garabedain]

Its because its on an adjusment layer i think. Maybe add it to another layer, or turn off the black and white circle so that its no long an adjustment layer. I think ive had something similar.

Playground? Why not particle World? which has the depth your looking for. not to mention a texture option, and a floor option.

[Richard Garabedain]

IS the Ai file precomped? if so make sure all layers inside the comp are 3d as well.

[Richard Garabedain]

bad example video. But you could scale the image slightly, add depth of field, add some caustic lighting. add a slowly moving light.

[Richard Garabedain]

Try precomp again and add another echo effect.

[Richard Garabedain]

ah, good thinking

[Richard Garabedain]

Oh, ya, works pretty well, stroke, turbulatn diisplace, glow, then, add rough edges, then another glow.
