My Tagged Posts Re: Spiralling particles effect by Lloyd Alvarez on Jun 2, 2008 at 4:14:11 am in the Adobe After Effects Expressions Forum You can animate the position in a spiral by moving the x & y on a sine and cosine wave and z in time like this:
phase=0;
amplitude=20;
frequency=10;
z_stretch=100;
x=Math.sin((time+phase)*frequency)*amplitude;
y=Math.cos((time+phase)*frequency)*amplitude;
z= (time+phase)*z_stretch;
[x,y,z]
You can change the value of the phase (positive or negative) for your second...
