     javascript is case-sensitive so you need to make sure everything is capitalized correctly and in this case time should not be capitlized. You also need to add semi-colons ; at the end of each line:

     x = Math.sin (time * 10) * 10;
     y = Math.cos (time * 10) * 10;
     z = time * 10;
     [x,y,z] + value

   hmm my trapcode particular isn’t emitting anything when i apply it. Basically i apply the effect change the type to light and nothing, still just the light operating on the script.

   any ideas??

   hey great tut,
   although it seems that when i go for 32b color, when i set my logo to obscuration layer, particular doesn t really go around this. Its like the same thing to put an obscuration layer or not. Please help, I cant find anyway to solve the issue.

   thanks
