Candy Coating
Hi all,,
So I’m making this text design where I’m having the “coating” of the letters crack off like a hard shell. I’ve been using the plug-in Xplode to handle the breaking apart process and it works pretty well…I think the trouble I’m having is cos of the way I’m setting up the letters themselves.See the way I have them set up now they break into thick chunky pieces, as if the entire model were being shattered. What I want is for it to look as if only the shell or paint job of the letters were cracking off. I get that I will prolly need two models for this (one for the shell one for the underneath section) so I guess what I’m asking is how can i model just the coating/shell of the letters?

Unfortunately I don’t think that Xplode can shatter a shelled object. OTOH, Geotools by Remotion can do it very nicely.

yeah, Thrausi can’t break a hollow object either (you have to punch a hole through so the inside and ouside shells become the same object – I’m guessing so they have contiguous UVWs)
