howdee, hoping some TP veterans may give me some pointers here...

The project involves having hundreds of flower petals motionless, strewn on a flat plane. Then a breeze picks up the petals, swirls them into a vortex and finally there is product reveal inside the vortex.

I'm guessing TP is the way to do this. How would I start with the particles already emitted and at rest?

thanks

you could try doing it in reverse (might be easier)
then just comp backwards

Check the TP Surface Emitter preset. It will distribute particles randomly over a surface.
