Hi, How to make rounded corners on light path?

[ruaorrr123]

Ive used a light path for trapcode particluar , but the corners are not rounded , is there a solution for this?

[brittnell-CM]

It has to do with the speed your light is traversing the path at that point (covering a good chunk of the curve between actual frames), so what you need, is to tell Particular to consider what's going on between frames (subframe).

Change the "Position Subframe" setting in Particular (at the top of "Emitter Behavior", below "Light Naming") to something other than "Linear", and it should fix it.

I changed position subframe to other then liniar, nothing changed

slowering the speed did rounded the corners, but i may need to keep the speed faster

is there any other solution without changing speed?

(thank you brittnell-CM

That's really odd, changing the position subframe sampling off of linear should have fixed it (as attached) 🤔:

If that doesn't seem to work for you for some reason, one thing you can do, is to keep the slower version, precomp it (drag it into a new comp), and then Layer/Time/Time Stretch that to the shorter (and faster) length you were hoping for.

1. Use a masking technique: Apply a mask with rounded corners over the light path to achieve the desired effect.
2. CSS border-radius property: Utilize the CSS border-radius property to create rounded corners for elements along the light path.
3. SVG shapes: Employ SVG shapes with rounded corners to define the light path, allowing for precise control over corner curvature.
4. Image editing software: Use image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP to create a light path with rounded corners.
5. CSS clip-path property: Apply the CSS clip-path property with a rounded rectangle shape to clip the light path into the desired form.
6. JavaScript libraries: Utilize JavaScript libraries like gyb Paper.js or SVG.js to programmatically generate rounded corner paths for the light.
7. CSS gradients: Incorporate CSS gradients with rounded corner shapes to produce a gradient-filled light path with rounded edges.
8. CSS transform property: Apply the CSS transform property to rotate and position the light path with rounded corners as needed.
9. HTML canvas element: Use the HTML canvas element to draw and manipulate the light path with rounded corners dynamically.
10. Pre-built UI frameworks: Explore pre-built UI frameworks like Bootstrap or Materialize that offer components with rounded corner styling options for the light path.
11. Custom code: Write custom CSS or JavaScript code to define the light path with rounded corners according to specific design requirements.
12. Experimentation and testing: Experiment with different techniques and combinations to achieve the desired rounded corner effect on the light path, and test across various browsers and devices to ensure compatibility and consistency.
