Particle Type Recipes

[Guest pixel_pimp]

I am trying to figure out which recipes other people us for particles forming type, or particles blowing type away. Mainly tips in After Effects, but not particle playground. Is it a combination of shatter, or Boris Effects. I can't place any example, any main title or trailer from Imaginary Forces? If anyone has come up with any good solutions please share.

 

Thx

Hi Pixel

Check out this AE tutorial by Ayato, this could help.

Particle Illusion would also be something to consider looking at

looks like a question for renascent. But i guess he uses a 3D-programme for that.

particles forming type is probably the same as particles blowing type away, just played backwards. And blowing type away into many little particles is pretty easy with 3D programmes.

I was hoping particles was a good place to start. It wasn't meant to be a specific question. But Ayato stuff is really cool. I've done particle's in Maya, which turn out really great. The place where I work can't afford for everyone to run a copy of Maya:( So I wanted to see if anyone has found an AE solution.

Well, this one does use particle playground (i know you asked for non-particle-playground-recipes but i'll mention it anyway, just in case you didn't know it yet):
