How to animate a mesh changing into particles ?

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

For a project in school i need to animate a character teleporting. The effect we are searching for is basically the whole character mesh transforming into bright blue particles, and then these particles collapse. I have absolutely no idea how to do that, is this possible ?

Thank you in advance

did you try to duplicate the mesh and use that as an emitter then move the character?????

Thank you for your reply. I tried this, but afterwards i don't know what to do for the reappearing part. so i morphed the particles into the character mesh, and then how to get the particles to transform into the character smoothly ?
