  • Need assistance to create balloon pop effect

    Posted by Todd Andrew on February 29, 2012 at 4:01 am

    Hi Guys, I hope someone can point me in the right direction..I am diving into Motion 5 and learning fast however I have ad next week for a company having a birthday sale..The ad will be just graphic pics and text zooming in and out and this is fine I can handle all this..
    The director ask me if I can have a balloon pic on screen then have it expand quickly, then pop..
    I assume they want to see some pieces fly out like an explosion effect..
    I have banged around Motion for a while but cannot seem to find a way to do this..
    I am hoping you very Esteemed Motion users may be able to help…

    Thanks and look forward to your help in this matter..

    Todd.

    Have the balloon expand for the last couple of frames using the Grow/Shrink behavior, then replace it with at particle emitter containing just a few fast moving particles of a simple ragged shape that is the same color as the balloon was.
