  Form and wind : really moving the particles

  Posted by Lucia Bastenhof on February 2, 2010 at 5:06 am

  Hi ! 🙂

  I’m trying to create the effect of a text transformed into sand.
  What is tricky here is that I’d like to move the sand, as it was blown away by the wind.

  In the “Fractal field” section, I can move the fractal field going through the particles, but not the particles themselves.

  I’m looking toward the Displacement map… Is it right ? And what sort of displacement map should I use to create this wind feeling ?

  Thank you a lot ! 🙂

  Have you seen Aharon Rabinowitz’s tutorial on text-to-sand?

  Keyframing the Center XY and Center Z will move the particles. You can also check out this tutorial which is all about using Form to destruct a logo.
