SKETCH AND TOON POST EFFECT • 53
Lines tab settings
Mode, Limit, Trail, Velocity Scale
From left to right: the ight paths of two particles; Trail mode with Limited disabled to give the entire trail; Trail
mode with Limited enabled to give only the most recent part of the trail; Velocity mode to produce a straight line
from each particle’s current position — the length of the line depends on the particle’s current velocity.
There are two modes for controlling the length of the particle lines.
Velocity mode creates a straight line from each particle’s current position. The line is as long
as the particle would travel in one second provided Velocity Scale is set to 100%. Use a higher
Velocity Scale value to lengthen the lines or a lower value to shorten them. The line points in the
particle’s current direction.
Trail mode creates lines for the trail (i.e. ight paths already travelled) of the particles. The Limit
and Trail settings limit the length of each line to the most recent part of the trail. For example, to
draw the trail travelled by the particles over the past ten frames, enable Limit and set Trail to 10 F.
On Death, Fade
The On Death setting controls what happens to a line when its particle dies.
Keep Stroke, Remove Stroke
With these modes, each line remains or disappears respectively when its particle dies.
Run Out
When each particle dies, its line gets shorter and shorter until it eventually disappears, like a train
“disappearing” into a tunnel.
Fade Out
Each line fades out gradually after its particle dies. The Fade value denes how long the line takes
to fade out.
