Text Rubiks cube type look…
Hey there sports fans!
So I’ve been trying to figure out a way to achieve this look for a couple of months and just saw this commercial recently that implements a very similar look. Basically , is there a way to achieve chopping up text like a rubiks cube so that each letter can rotate and size into place piece by piece using mograph or some other way than manually animating each chunk of lettering??
here is a link to check out the Scion spot that uses a the technique i’m after. Thanks in advance for any advice you might be able to offer!
thanks folks!

I did a similar thing a while back. I made the rubeks cube with nulls and placed each letter as a child of a null. then used user data sliders to animate.

Thanks for the response Randy…I’m not trying to create a rubik’s cube with the text per say…more so I’d like to be able to cut each letter into chunks ‘like a rubik’s cube and have each piece free to rotate and scale…does that make sense? I probably didn’t explain it very well the first time around. What’s in the video I posted is what I’ve been after and just haven’t had a visual representation until very recently.
Thanks again though! Let me know if you have any more suggestions!

Sounds like you’ll need to convert the text into polys and have a go at it with the knife tool. Then it would be a matter of selecting the different polygon groups and splitting them off into separate objects. Drop them all into a cloner and whala.

Hey Adam!
Thanks so much for your advice. I had a go at it and was wondering if you could help me through some of the details. i went through and cut a letter in to chucks and separated them into their own polygon objects. When I dropped them into a Cloner Object, I didn’t really get the individual control I was hoping for. All of the objects moved/scaled as if they were one object. i messed with some falloff settings and different types of cloning settings but couldn’t get the desired result…have any tips on what I may be missing??
Thanks again, it’s greatly appreciated!
