  Shatter Text/Layer opposite to the camera

  Posted by Diogo Mendes-pinto on October 22, 2019 at 11:55 am

  Hi!

  Is there a way to shatter text or any other kind of layer using only built-in plugins (or free ones) with the pieces going the opposite direction of the camera? Exactly like the Shatter effect but the opposite direction.

  Please be aware that I don’t want to invert the Shatter effect (start with something shattered and then putted together again).

  C4D Lite is not an option as it doesn’t contain the simulation tags.

  I looked everywhere and I just can’t find a solution.

  I’m using AE CC19

  Thank you!

  Use a negative value for depth instead of a positive value.
