Bullet Tracer affect in AE OR COMBUStion, i thought that i would ask on this section first becuase i know after affects a little better than combustion(a lot better actually). I am making a covert opps movie over the summer, we are using fake guns so we need some kind of effect that will make the shots looks real(possibly a muzzle flash and most importantly tracers, for the big 30 caliber machine guns) we will not be firing real shells and this is why i need to know how to make guns looks like there really shooting bullets in either after affects or combustion 3. Sorry for this newb question but i cannot find anywhere how to do this.
PS. one thing that makes this kinda tricky is that there is nothing comming out of the guns to track we just have a point where the bullet starts(end of the barral) and a point where it stops(a persons body) and i need some kind of system, possibly by hand wehre the lines or what ever(for the tracers) know in what direction they are going in as in all axis's. anyway i would appreciate any suggestions or pointers. thanks :)
