  • Editable Mograph text loses dynamic attributes?

    Posted by Craig Whitaker on November 29, 2010 at 2:20 pm

    Hello everyone,

    I have a MoGraph text object that I’ve made editable to modify a few individual letters….after doing that however, the collision tag no longer works. Two questions…

    1) Is this what’s supposed to happen?

    2) If so, is there a workaround?

    Thank you.

    Best,
    Craig

    1) Yes, when you make any object editable you lose any parametric properties it may have had;

    2) When you made the text object editable it created an extrude nurbs for each letter. Create a mograph>fracture object and drag all the extrude nurbs into it. Then apply the modynamics tag to the fracture object.
