particle plotting possible? 2005-04-15 - By Matt Morris
Back
Hey Eric, congrats! What are you doing on the list, go out and party man!
I'm kind of getting there with the old constrain objects to particles, plot
objects, remove constraints etc and then mirror f-curves - the cloud has to
explode out, slow down, freeze and reverse back in once the camera has
rotated around it so not quite as simple as it could be, but doable. I'll
carry on in my lo-fi way, just had to stay a few extra hours than needed!
Cheers
Matt

Oops. That was supposed to go to Matt, not Lyn.
Psyop is 5 years old today... I've had a few glasses
of wine. 8)
I found that just opening the f-curve editor, and
using the "flip in x" function for all of your
animated elements is perfect for this sort of thing.
Animate backwards! The fun part is discussing how you
need to change your animation, thinking about it
backwards and explaining it forwards makes me feel
like I am having a seizure.
Not as unpleasant a sensation as you may initially
think.
