  Material Morph from one object to another

  Posted by Michael Taylor on August 7, 2009 at 9:27 pm

  So here’s my set up: I want to have a full frame image that animates into wrapping around text created by an extrude NURBS object and a spline.

  I can’t get anywhere with this. To make the image full frame I have it as the material of a plane object. There’s a few Morph Deformers and Tags that go with character animation, which is not something I have experience in. But I have no idea how to get from point A (full frame image) to point B (wrapped around text).

  How you you have a full image filling the frame and then have it wrap around 3D text in an animation? Any ideas? I have After Effects at my disposal too. Thanks to anyone who can help.

  I don’t think it’s possible in Cinema, frankly. You could attempt something like that with the cloth module, but it would never completely wrap each letter; it would look more like you were dropping a blanket on the text.

  What you’re really looking for, IMO, is animation of the letter object’s UVW mapping, but Cinema does not support that.
