Particle Bounce

[dactyl]

Does anyone know how to control the bounce of a particle
after it hits the wall(a mask). I'm using particle playground
to shoot out objects...I want them to bounce around a little,
but not fly off screen (just hang around at the bottom.
I'm using AE5.5 Pro.
Thanks.

Unfortunately the best way to figure that out is to play with all of the different settings for particle playground (or whatever filter/plugin you happen to be using). Sounds like you want to play with the gravity maybe?

Check out the tutorials, there is a particle bounce tutorial that will show you how to set another layer or mask as a "wall".
But quickly if you check the wall setting in the particle effects options you will find that it allows you to specify a boundary.
