  Rearrange Letters After Impact Bounce

  Posted by Sean Lloyd on January 7, 2024 at 7:31 am

  Hi All and Happy New Year.

  As you can see in the attached file. I’ve created some letters, stacked them on top of each other and then had an invisible object hit them that will later be replaced by another animation that will be composited in AE.

  What I am having trouble with is getting the letters to reform into another word by animating them toward the end of the effect of the impact.

  It seems like normal animation procedures get hazy when the objects are being affected by the randomness of the impacts.

  I am certainly no expert animating in C4D, but I do know the basics.

  Is there a way to do this? Perhaps get into the animation from the impacts and tweak them?

  Anyway, any insight or advise would be appreciated as this is taking longer than I had allocated.

  I hope this message finds you well…

  Thanks…

  Hi Sean,

  If what you are looking for is to make the letters fall so that the same letters form another word, just add hidden paths that direct each letter to its place and apply Collider Tag to them so that each letter oscillates dynamically but ends in Its desired position, The letter may fall upside down or on its side, so you need to hit it again with a hidden object to correct this.

  I hope this is useful to you

  Hi Kouraib,

  Thanks for the reply!. I haven’t used paths much or hidden paths, but I will try to find some tutorials and give it a go.

  Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

  You’re welcome, Sean! I also think that the Dynamic Place tool will be useful to you in this, here are two tutorials that explain how it works.

  thanks!
