ALL DESIGN TOOLS
February 17th, 2009
In this new tutorial we will build a chrome ring in After Effects with an elaborate particle wipe. You’ll learn a new expression and build an anamorphic lens flare. The tutorial uses Trapcode Particular but I also show you how to set it up with CC particle world as well. And, I promise no references to The Ring!
Reminder:
The music and sound FX are from: Pro Scores and Designer Sound FX.
Check out our great Tools and support the site!

I'm currently watching Men In Black II on TBS, and during the last commercial break there was an advertisement for a show on TNT. Now normally the TNT logo is just a circle with TNT in the center. Well at the end of this commercial the TNT logo appeared, just like your logo here. I think your being watched, and by big companies.

The ring i made by following your tutorial.
Tried to make it a bit different so it wouldn't be the same but this effect has a infinite number of possibilities.
Thank you again

how can you make the particles follow a non circular orbit? like if you make a path with the null in z space, how can you orient the particles to follow that same path you created?
thanks for the tutorial....
