  Grain pouring into logo – how?

  Posted by Rob Hindley on November 8, 2005 at 7:22 am

  I am trying to create the illusion of grain pouring into a logo and filling it up. I have attempted it with Shatter with varying results. Is there a better more realistic way?

  I use AE6 Professional.

  Just off the top of my head: A particle generator with a mask of the logo set as the boundaries, infinite life for the particles…?

  You could probably do this quite easily with ParticleIllusion and deflectors. I’m sure Particular has similar capabilites and in 3d!

  You could also probably do this with Foam that comes with AE, using a gradient map to control the flow?
