Trapcode Particular Question: Falling Coins
by Jaison Wilson on Oct 23, 2009 at 4:24:30 pm

Hello
I am creating a falling coin animation using Trapcode Particular. I created the looping animation of the fall coin, selected it as my custom particle but when I run a preview, even though I have the emitter behind the camera and have the life span of the particles longer than my comp, I get random coins that keep appearing and disappearing. When I preview the same clip with spheres as my particle, I get a constant stream of particles.

The animation looks more like flashing coins rather then a falling group of coins. Is there some setting I might not have checked.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Jaison

Thank you for responding.

No, the majority of them are constantly on the screen but just a few of them periodically start to appear and disappear.

Thank you for responding.

Here is a link to the setting:

Let me know if you need me to render out the portion where the footage to see the flashing.

When I had the settings at "random loop" I get the flashing. When I have it at "start at birth loop," it doesn't happen but I don't get random flipping coins.

Thank again,
Jaison

I get that exact same problem. I know exactly what you are seeing, I see it all the time, and do the same as you have, just set to birth loop.

I started a thread last week on it as well.

I really hope there's some suggestions for this, it drives me crazy too.
