Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 5, 2011 Hash Fellow Posted April 5, 2011 streak particles would be ideal for that Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 5, 2011 Hash Fellow Posted April 5, 2011 First attempt. These are streak particles whose color goes from white to orange to black over one second. the emitter rate is animated in the chor to make it go on and off sparks.mov They need some glow to look brighter. I'm not sure if streaks can "glow" Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 5, 2011 Hash Fellow Posted April 5, 2011 some blur added on Aftereffects made them look a bit more luminous sparks.avi_Comp_1.mov Quote
bubba Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 Robert, what material did you use to create the streaks? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted April 16, 2011 Hash Fellow Posted April 16, 2011 Robert, what material did you use to create the streaks? brace yourself... it's called... sparks! You can try this but I just whipped it up from scratch and I find that you have to customize particle effects for each new situation. Sparks2.prj Quote
