  • Objects flowing and being dispersed by a logotype

    Posted by Catalin Marg on February 14, 2019 at 5:32 pm

    Hi guys,

    I am trying to achieve a visual effect in which a series of squares “flow” (much like a stream) into a logotype and then they are being dispersed by the typographic element as if the element has a magnetic field that repulses/disperses the squares.

    I have attached a small sketch illustrating an explanation of what I trying to achieve.

    If somebody would be able to point me into the right direction I would be forever grateful.

    Many thanks
    Catalin

    Try attaching that file again, but if I understand the effect you’re going for, I once had to write a script to get that kind of effect.

    I’m still not quite picture what you’re trying to do, but Newton might be a good place to start. It’s a third-party add-on for AE that gives you some pretty powerful 2d physics simulations in AE.
