If I want to wrap particles around a person (like the example of the girl with the guitar)...Can I use visibility and transfer modes to have the particles go around a persons back or do I need to roto?April 5th, 2009 at 7:42 am

Aharon, Thank you for this. Ever since I started teaching high school video production I have found that my skills are becoming a bit out of date. The only way I have to keep sharp these days is relying on guys like you. Particular is a great program and not too hard to use. But the depth of the program is what I like the most. It is also what mystifies me the most. I just don't have the time to explore and experiment so thanks again for doing it for me and sharing so I can share it with my students.
