Great tut! One question: why is the outcome different when you apply the CC Glass effect on a pre-composed layer than just simply apply it on the layer with the fractal noise?
by Rick 10/02/2007
love these tutorials, opens a new world to me, about intregrating 3dsmax and after effects.
by Cody 10/02/2007
Wow great Tutorail again. ;)
But I have a Problem. My Particles don´t get Blured by the depth of field. I don´t know why. I don´t have the Full Render DOF square Render mode. I Have just the Full Render Mode and Motion Prewiew. Is that a problem?

Can somebody help me?

Sorry I know my English is bad but I´m form German.

by seb 10/16/2007
Very nice tutorial but I've got just one problem.
In Particular, I don't have "Full render + DOF square". I just have Motion Preview or Full Render.
I do turn on the DOF in the camera's option but nothing happen.
What's wrong with my plug-in?
by Born 10/16/2007
Excellent tutorial. It's great you are able to take time out of your schedule to to these.

Awesome. Thanks.

by Grant 10/20/2007
Dude you have given me a lot of insperation and like to thank you for it
by Surray 10/21/2007
awesome tutorial!

and a little not to seb who posted a comment a little above me:

depth of field is a new effect of particular and is only available in a new version. if the particular verison you are using is too old you'll have only motion preview or full render and not all 4 options. go update.

by lennon 10/26/2007
My particles aren't moving. They don't play the 3d animation (I use a ".iff" maya file insted of .png, but I don't see how that could be a problem)
What I'm saying is that the particles play always the same photo, and I don't know what I must press to activate them. I thought that it was loop from birth, but it isn't. Any idea?????????????
by Rob Neal 11/02/2007
Great tutorial.

Lennon: You need to export in a format that runs as a file numbered sequence, Andrew uses PNG, I personally prefer RLA, but you can also use TIFF and a few others. The images need to be labelled 000 - xxx and must be imported as an image sequence in AE, also ensure that you also export the alpha channel, or you wont have a background.

Hi!

i just finished this tutorial and made an animation of my own. there is a problem with the particle system:as shown in the tutorial, i mapped a 3d-animation of a cell on the particle system. that worked very well. but there is one problem: the reference-animation of the particle is 200-frames long..it shows the cell spining around itself (once!).after that it has to be looped.but there is the problem: that causes a visible "flicker"-effect wich is visible on every particle after every loop. i dont understand that. i tested the animation of the source 3d-model and its 100% perfect..when its looped! so why does it flicker in the particle system ?? another problem is..that there is an ugly "overlap" effect when a particle crosses another particle in 3d-space..how do i avoid that ?

you can watch my animation here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEWbyiOyiCA

hope someone can help me!

greetings from germany!

I've got a problem with the "Depth of Field".

in my "paricle" not exist "DOF Square (AE)".

plzzz.. can you help me with that
thanks
by Chris Brearley 12/29/2007
Twist - I had the same problem myself, I've no idea why this should happen but try setting your time sampling to split clip - loop. This seems to solve the issue. Hope this helps!

Chris.

To all you guys that have this problem it´s because you have a version earlyer than the 1.5, update your version, that´s all

Para quienes tienen el problema con DOF es porque no tienen la version 1.5 de trapcode particular, actualicen su version y listo
