Create a firefly scene in After Effects | After Effects Particles

The light of the fireflies should be going on and off. This doesn't look natural.

great tutorial, thank you so much!!

Damn good tutorial, but that's not how reflections work. You might want to scale along the Y axis like that if you're creating shadows, but reflections like this wouldn't scale like that. Look at the reflections that are already there in the water -- the mountains, the trees -- They're flipped (so, -100% Y), but they're still just as tall.

The realistic motion of the fireflies you were able to produce with just a few clicks, is just mind boggling..I mean it is literally just one shape layer with 2 properties, haha! Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, i learned something new. Liked, Commented and Subbed!

Is there a way to make them loop?

I want to add this to my unity game. Can you make a video about the after effects particle for Unity?

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for!

Köszi! Nagyon hasznos volt! :D

Cool!

This was what I was looking for thanks!

Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for

really helpfull! keep doing thing like this! thanks ;)

Great tutorial! Any idea how to have the fireflies to fade in and out?

So helpfull! Thank you <3

Excellent effect. I will be using it for a photo slideshow this year. Thank you for sharing! I did have one question: would you be able to demonstrate how to have fireflies coalesce into a letter of the alphabet? I would like to add this to a title screen.

Thank you so much!
