Floating letters in water/oil that spell words?
I saw a interesting add that had floating letters in a 3d space (the letters look like they are submerged in water or something), the letters would jumble and form words – interacting with the existing floating letters.
It was very cool – any one with some ideas how to do this? -

Would you happen to have a URL to the ad?
Without more info, I can only make a guess that it’s a combinaiton of Particle Playground (which allows for particle interation, including text) and Displacement Map-ping (for creating the oily/liquidy text look of the text characters.

if you can’t find the ad online, maybe just describe how the particles interacted.
as roland mentioned, a displacement map and a water texture can give a watery movement to the text. factal noise can be used to generate the watery texture. combining that with colorama and caustics can give that drab fractal noise a liquid/oil-like appearance.

It was on TV and I cannot remember exactly what it was for. It was almost like letters were floating in an oil – in 3d space (x,y,z). Every once in a while, some of the letters would gather up and form words from the mass of other letters in the oil. They would then break apart and become random again. This would continue – I think it was for credits for a TV show? The great thing was it looked like the letters interacted with each other, had physical properties and banged into each other…sound familiar?

Similar question. I just recently saw an ad for Tetley Red Tea, see this link. https://theinspirationroom.com/daily/2008/tetley-red-tea-from-africa/comment-page-1/
and I’ve been trying everything I can to even slightly imitate this look. Anyone have any ideas on how this was done? Help would be greatly appreciated.
