Still working to get the hang of Bixelangelow.
Tried to attach a particle layer to get a flow.
1. Recorded show in BXA
2. In BT, opened show, and as per home page, attached particle layer to active layer, whilst the picture layer was active.
3. Selected 'small glow'
4. Immediately, particles filled the screen. They do not follow the sketch.
Sorry if I appear stupid, but I cannot understand how to get the glow to follow the sketch.
Good question! I have tried to do this by using the LAUNCH COLOUR and LAUNCH COLOUR TOLERANCE properties of the particle layer.
Try setting the LAUNCH COLOUR at the start to (0,0,0) and at the end to (255,255,255). Use a LAUNCH COLOUR TOLERANCE of about 0.1. This more or less follows the tip.
To make the particles emit from the entire sketch at the end set the LAUNCH COLOUR at the end to (128,128,128) and the TOLERANCE to about 0.2. In this situation you might also have to animate the EMISSION property. This controls the amount of particles being emitted per second. As you need less particles at the start I guess setting this prop to 0 at start gives the best result.
