    If you need to deform with a texture you can, but you will need a crazy level of subD’s to make it smooth and a high enough resolution map to do it.

    You can also achieve this with invisible letters and Ambient Occlusion and no deforming – just have them cast a shadow on the plane as they scale up or rise up (towards camera).

    If you have Octane, its deformation routine can generate a billion more subdivisions economically than C4D’s native engine can.

    If you use the dynamics engine you will probably see subtle little flickers even at a very high subD level.
