spline-emitter
Thomas Bittikoffer asked 8 years ago
I have an OBJ sequence and would like that obj sequence to emit a trail of particles… Also, similar question… is there a function which will create a trail of particles (like a long exposure) from an emitter. I don’t want a trail of dust, just like a sweep of light as in the old Apple “listen to the music” ad. I get that replicator creates it’s own paths, and I may be misunderstanding all it can do, but I’m kinda of lost.

You can attach some Nulls / Lights to this object in your 3D software, import them and emit particles, you can see in the MoCap Dancer Tutorial a similar technique.
As for light trails , you can emit particles from moving lights, with zero speed particles, you can also use the Replica – Spline to draw a 3D spline and animate it to reveal. To see the replica sample pls check Presets / Replica / Swirl
