  • Spiral In preset: how does this thing work?

    Posted by Eric Chard on August 2, 2009 at 6:51 am

    I’ve been trying to DISSECT the operation of the text animation preset SPIRAL IN.FFX.

    I’ll be damned if I can figure out HOW this thing works. Arghghg. Could someone please enlighten me?

    It is a clever animation, isn’t it? (No, I didn’t make it.)

    The cleverness is in the Rotation and Tracking properties in Animator 1. Play with those values and let me know if you need some help figuring things out from there.

    Many thanks, I will look at those parameters. Also good to know where the heck to start!
