Thanks Andrew!~

I love your tutorials and just wanted to share that if you use a 3D motion tracker like the one in Maya Live, you can then bake the keyframes of your "Locator" in 3D space, and save your Maya scene as a .ma (ascii) file that After Effect can then import. What this means is that you can then import a Locator/Null that will have 3D keyframes you can then tie to the Particular emitter!

You may already have a better solution, but it felt like the least I could do in appreciation for your generosity.

Big Ups!

it hurts.. i dont have the PARTICAULAR effects T_T

I just wanted to point out that what you´re doing is great. I know it is a marketing tactic from Videocopilot, but still, giving out this high end tutorials for free is worth a stading ovation.
You have a knack for teaching, and throw a little humour here and there to make it more watchable.
I used to have Chad Perkins as my number 1 AE teacher, but now you have surpassed him. Anyway, thanks a lot, to you and your bosses here at Videocopilot.net for all this incredible knowledge you´re letting us have.

Andrew Kramer my guru, teacher, professor, god, father and all source of inspiration for me.

u r the Best, Andrew!

which type of plug-in for using (LIght Streaks)

i want download projects how to go

sir are you great job

thank u......sir.u are great

that means that Andrew used a plugin that you dont own in order to make the effect possible in this case. Particular doesnt come with AE you need to buy it

I always enjoy Kramer's tutorials

when i open the project the error is this:

this project contains reference to a missing effect, Please install the following effect to restore this reference. ("particuluar").. help

Thank You So Much Andrey Krammer For Tutorials

Thanks to u

Dude you kick all the bunz! This tutorials have learned me so much! (would have said tought if i could spell it) lol but thanks again! I will watch all of them!

I think you are the best man for effects! yea!
you know ..en .just think it..just do it!man

@ukgoodfella
Masking (unless the layer has an alpha channel) and layering.

Have two particle layers (one on top of the layer that you want to obscure it in 3D space and one below) and set a keyframe on the birth rate to where the bottom one stops producing when it's supposed to go in front and the other one starts producing when it goes in front. This should work with most particle systems/ plugins, but not all.

I was very impressed with your tutorials for the streaking effect. I do have a question and that is can you show us in another tutorial how we can make the streaks go behind people in 3d space, i think this would give it a better sense of Realism.....

I would be very grateful not to mention other people if you could do this for us...


many thanks.

Hi Andrew. Incredible work with those tuts.
I'm learning now, from your tuts how to work in AE, but I do have some background in 3DMax.
Question: Is it posible to make the particles to work on a path ? Isn't more easy to draw a path on X,Y,Z then asign particles to fallow path ? This is how it works in 3DMax, isn't posible here too ?
Thanks !
