  • grow a some text in the Z axis

    Posted by Gon Perdigao on October 21, 2008 at 12:43 pm

    Hi there, i wanted to animate a text growing in the Z axis, and going back to the original form.
    I search in the web for tutorials for this kind of animation, but no luck, can anyone link me to some kind of tutorial that teaches this, or tell me how to do this?
    Thanks a lot

    Very easy, actually. Just put your text object/spline in an extrudeNURBS and animate the Z depth parameter.

    Still not sure I understand. You want to extrude text and wrap it around a sphere? If so you can use a Wrap Deformer on it, set to spherical mode.
