animating drips of paint

[ruaorrr123]

hi i need help with animating drips of paint

so i know one way to go is to make shape and animate it while its falling and transforming

but i am trying to make it with particular so it will have more randomness

with particular i made 1 particle per second and then after one frame keyframed it to 0,

and  I add the aux system, size and opacity all switched to 100, but i am unable to get the look of the drips group on the right side which is more straighted lines and not made of dots like the one with particualr I made

any suggestions?

You probably need to play around with the new "fluid" physics to retain volume. No idea, though. My computer is too old for al lthis new stuff. Other than that this is the typical stuff where even in this day and age of elaborate simulations it would be much simpler to buy a bucket of white paint, spray it on a dark background, film it and then use individual bits from the footage in your comp.

Red Giant is a great source for Particular tutorials. Here is one from seven years ago but it will give you some ideas and show you the controls you need to manipulate:
