no 3D object rotation in particle layers.

Post by DK »

I don't know whether this is a bug or just a quirk but I modelled an object, imported it into AS to use as a particle. I gave the object a 360 degree rotation on the X axis over about 12 frames and placed it in a particle layer. It worked fine but there was no rotation. Any ideas?

Maybe I'm wrong (somebody please correct me if I am) but I think particles are a two-dimensional effect. I've seen pseudo-3D particle effects, but I've never seen a "real" 3D rotation inside a particle layer, anyway -- so I'm going for "quirk"...
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

i put a 3d cube (with the 3d script) inside a particle layer. then rotate in x the 3d layer. the particle works fine for me.

try to make the particles lifetime be longer and with less particles count, maybe you just can't see the rotation.

Hi Selgin,
It's working fine now thanks. I just extended the frames and it fixed it. Thanks for that ;)
