Re: animated dots texture (array)
by Tudor "Ted" Jelescu in the Adobe After Effects Forum
This looks like it could be done using Plexus. If you leave the particles at dots only and do not activate the lines, and then apply a Spherical Field distortion (from the Plexus Tool Kit), then you need to position a camera on top, looking straight on at your particles....

Re: Best way to shoot a text message on a cell phone

Most people I know just shoot what's on the screen. They do that in most cases I've seen on TV. That's usually the fastest way, and produces more realistic results. Tracking often creates a floating effect without a bunch of manual work unless ideal conditions are met. You may have...

Re: Smoke from a brand - wide area - how to animate

Yeah, I think that's the only way with the built in particle systems. If you use effects like that often, it's worth purchasing particular. It's way faster, and you can shift when you start. Of course, if it's rare that you do projects like that, it's not worth paying for...
