Slowly Falling Letters of a word
Hi,
I’m trying to make words start falling in a slow motion fashion one letter at a time. Right now I have each letter as it’s own object. I’m using Gravity and a rigid body dynamics tag on each separate letter, and key framing the mass to make it start falling and I’m also giving them subtle gentle tumble some tumble. Is there a simpler way to do this with Mograph, where the text can remain editable and kernable etc? I need may need collisions in some cases. I also need an invisible floor catch the letters in one instance.
Thanks,
Robyn

HI Robyn
Your definetly doing it the hard way.
Have a look at the file attached.
I used a mograph text cloner for a start.
Then shut off global gravity in edit/project settings.
Then used a gravity force (object/gravity) with fall off to linear.
The falloff cage is keyed and triggers the gravity as it runs through the letters. The axis direction is important.
I used a turbulence force to move em a bit because they fall dead straight. (keyed to 0 at the end)
You could do the same linear falloff setup with a random effector for the rotation only.
Hope this helps.
