February 23rd, 2011 By Wes Ball

In this tutorial, Wes Ball (of OddBall Animation) shows you how to create a stylized lightning bolt effect (seen in the Lovett music video "Eye of the Storm") using Trapcode Particular and Trapcode 3D Stroke.

Watch "Eye of the Storm" here on Vimeo: vimeo.com/​19659763

Was this tutorial done in CS 5.5? The screen capture is not the same. Consequently, my pick-whip and time stretch functions for the particular XY position channel and the Null channel are not present. Very frustrating.
