This plugin is real cool.I can see it used for much more than sigs,like planets disintegrating for one,lol. Now all I need is some time to play. 

 

You are doing an awesome job on these new plugins and I thank you very much. I haven't downloaded all of them because there are a few I don't think I will ever use but the ones I have are making a great addition to the effects that I will use quite often. Loving your work dude! I think you deserve Plugin Writer of the Year! And I smell a TR's plugin pack coming in the future.   ;)

Amazing plugin TR!

I have been experimenting (without much luck) with ways to achieve just this effect. It's like you read my mind! Thank you.

Thanks to a suggestion from Skullbonz I decided to revisit the Scatter Plugin - 

 

Features include a longer spread distance and up to 10 layers of particles.

Cheers DD and BBQ.

 

Nice job Skullbonz.

 

@TR.

This is probably a stupid question, but does this only scatter photo images? With pdn image I only get a small scatter and no scatter if the image is on transparent background. Hope this makes sense.

slide the threshold slider to the left it will scatter darker pixels too - and increae the distance so it's easiers to see. also try more layers.

 Here's a non  photo PDN example

 

Settings:

Distance 602 pixels.
spread 10
threshold 0 (all pixels)
Layers 14

Curious to me, at 180 there is falloff in the pixels and I thought the pixels would go straight out as they do at 175. Guess I'm being picky?

I think I know what you mean. The "spread" is added to the "direction" so it always skews it one way - since the rotation is continuous this should not be an issue. below is Red 180° and Blue 175°  with a 10° counter-clockwise(anti-clockwise) spread.

Oops, I didn't realize that any rotation was involved.  Wondered why the pixels didn't just fly out in the direction chosen. Guess I need to experiment more with this.

Thank you for the explanation.

I really do like the effect.

Download the zip file from post #1 and copy it to your PDN Effects folder under Program Files.  ?
