How to create particle trails with MASH
- [Voiceover] In the 2nd chapter we took a look at the MASH trails node, which allowed us to create polygonal trails from object movement. And in this video we're going to take a look at how to use that node in conjunction with a particle system to create particle geometry trails. So it basically leaving a path in the wake of a particle's movement. And this can be used to create some really lovely effects. So let's go to our Outliner and Perspective view here. In this video we're going to show it a little differently because we don't have to make a MASH network as we traditionally have. So let's make sure our FX menu is set. Let's go to nParticles, Create Emitter. Now we're gonna do a couple things on this. Mainly, just go to the Nucleus and turn off the gravity because we don't want gravity pulling these down. Let's just press Play and we can see our particles emitting. Awesome. Ok, so now what we're gonna do is we are going to add some turbulence to this particle motion so we get…
