[Mark] I keep wondering how to make it better; the floor could look more like polished marble or glass if I added a specular highlight somehow.
Take a look at my Reflections for Motion 3 video tutorial. Don’t for get to put it in a group and drag the group to your particle well.
[Mark] Also, I would like to learn how to make them flow together to coalesce into a logo image, but not for this spot, just as an intellectual exercise. I figure I would do it in reverse; generate the logo, turn it into particles, then make the particles move apart and scatter. Just throw it into final cut and reverse the playback later.
Take a look at the Particle Metrix plug-in. It has a 15 day free trial.
Best of luck.
