I want to generate trails around a keyed model in Combustion. How would I go about doing that. I tried adding a particle operator (area emitter enough to encompass the model) to the keyed clip and selecting use alpha in the particles controls but I can only see the particle inside the matted image. ArrrgH.
Plaese help.

I'm not sure I got your point here, but using the alpha as a emitter source is only avaliable in Particle Illusion 3 engine if I'm not mistaken, Combustion uses Particle Illusion 2 engine.

Can you post a reference of the effect you're trying to achieve?

See ya,

@farriel : yes all versions use particle 2 engine the only way to do it is with particle illusion 3
