![Exploding SpaceX Rocket! 🚀 After Effects Tutorial for Meteor Shower, Rocket Debris, Shooting Stars
This After Effects tutorial shows you how to create a meteor shower or rocket debris effect, inspired by the SpaceX Starship explosion in January 2025. We’ll start by making a simple shooting star, then modify it into a comet or asteroid, and finally create a shower of meteors burning up in the atmosphere—no plugins needed! This tutorial moves fast — be ready to learn a lot about Adobe After Effects and the CC Particle World effect, and when youre done, youll have an awesome animation!

EXPRESSIONS: Put the following three expressions in the Producer section of the CC Particle World effect. Make sure a Layer Control is on the layer named Follow Layer, and set it to the Null layer you want to follow.
Position X:
x = effect(Follow Layer)(Layer).transform.position[0]/thisLayer.width;
value - (thisLayer.width/2)/thisLayer.width + x;
Position Y:
x = effect(Follow Layer)(Layer).transform.position[1]/thisLayer.width;
value - (thisLayer.height/2)/thisLayer.width + x;
Position Z:
x = effect(Follow Layer)(Layer).transform.position[2]/thisLayer.width;
value - (thisLayer.width/2)/thisLayer.width + x + 0.5;
To make your lens flare follow your comet or meteor, put the following expression on the Lens Flare Position property, inside the Global Controls, on your lens flare layer:
L=thisComp.layer(Comet Position);
L.toComp([0,0,0]);
