Particle Playground Snow on Footage
by Leisa Hurst on Apr 23, 2008 at 3:46:16 pm

Hi there. I've been trying to have snow fall and land on characters in some video footage, using Maltaannon's "Particle Playground on Ice" tutorial. Unfortunately, the snow is sticking to the spot where it first touches the "find edges" outline, and does not follow the character, nor does it continue to fall away at a normal speed. It does fall very slowly after adjusting the Y-speed, but adjusting it to fall at a normal speed means that it does not stick to the edge in the first place (dilemma!)

I tried this tutorial with simple moving text and wasn't able to get it to work in this way either. The snow stops where it first encounters the resistance map, and then drops very slowly if the Y-speed is adjusted to a certain amount. Is there either a way to get the snow to follow the outline, or a way to make it continue falling at a normal speed after the outline has moved away?

Thanks in advance~
