Hey
I would suggest to make it also 3D.
it seems that the light ring (which you made first, are pointed into the viewers direction, but the wand, is? not in the viewers direction, so you should move the Layer in 3D, so that the light rings are coming out of the wand-pointing direction…
@trencej Understand, but it´s just one is enough.
I mean, if you create one? particle system, you can use it as a
Displacement Map, without have hide it.
@Miatpi Basically after making the sparks out of a particle system, Duplicate it, make the particles larger, and softer, then use that as a? displacement map to warp the background.
Hey man is there anyway to save this as a preset so I can repeatedly use it? I’m planning? on making a duel type thing for school. I’m new to AE so I have not the slightest clue.
@deavisdude.
It really is. Its pretty good for a quick and dirty job, Not dissing it in any way, it was done quick for tutorial purposes, but with more time, would be much better. Wand would be motion tracked, ring would be a 3d layer, sparks etc would have been particle systems, a duplicate particle system used as a displacement map on the background, and the light casting would? be a lot more detailed. But like i said, good for a quick tutorial.

@trencej
Agree!!
But what did you mean with “a duplicate particle system”?
And I agree what the rings whould be in 3d.?

seems? a lot of work for just a few frames but nice effect
