Absolutely brilliant tutorial. Perfect for what I needed, really easy to follow and worked great first time. Thank you so so much!

[RapunzelASMR]

I do everything right but when I create the new particles layer, and do the particle world, nothing shows up on screen. no particles. I see the layer etc...

I spent an entire afternoon trying to figure out a way to orient the particle emitter to the path. You are the ONLY person who thought to include that, in like 3 hours worth of tutorials I watched.

I don't get why nobody but you saw the need to do this, but there it is. ty for this.

Ez pz, thanks 👍
Might wanna check the expression for Z though. Had to mess around with it because the copy/paste one you gave seemed to be firing errors off with that 2 for some reason. Got it working fine though.

Thanks for the tutorial, I'm really grateful for all the awesome stuff that you teach on the channel! Just a small request though. Can you perhaps try to zoom in on the panels when you adjust and tweak stuff? Even on fullscreen on a fairly large monitor, the interface looks small and cluttered and it can get difficult at times. Keep up the great work!

Awesome video! I'm a Graphic Design student who's very interested in motion graphics and I love watching your channel to get some inspiration and trying your tutorials myself. Keep doing what you do!

Thanks man! I'm nearing the end of a project where particle world comes into play; this really covered an effect I was hoping to figure out.

[aah_rooj]

u are the best i only understand ur tutorials

[mikemcloughlin]

Thank you for your amazing tutorial! I have a quick question: am I allowed to copy and paste these expressions into my work project for both commercial and non-commercial use?

[ankajoubert]

Josh this a wonderful tutorial using for a Class in AE on Particles, Thank You! You are truly amazing!

[nicklaws]

This is really useful, thank you! The only issue I've found is that the null doesn't follow the path exactly, it is about 10/20 pixels out so when using quite a close particle stream and other paths it is really noticeable - any idea why this would be? Something in the expressions maybe?

[BOSSVISUALS]

W video. I cant wait to use this on some of my future projects. Thank you for this tutorial!

[Radx]

Brilliant. That's exactly what I needed

[arashhooshangnezhad]

Where did these expressions come from ???? and my project and paths are different! so this video basically works for just this tutorial and not anything else!

[alejandraurena]

Thank you so much! I have learned a lot through you

[jezreel]

Thank you mate! You're a lifesaver!
