  • variation on text to sand with trapcode form

    Posted by Ruan Grant on January 18, 2013 at 4:23 pm

    I have been trying to create an effect using Red Giants text to sand tutorial as a basis. Basically instead of sphere particles I have created an animated sprite of a crow flying and was trying to make it look like the text is formed by a flock of these crows. I have tried a variety of workarounds but can’t seem to get the effect to look organic. If anyone has any ideas how I could achieve this effect or any suggestions for an alternative it would be greatly appreciated.

    I have read that tutorial. To give organic look, Motion Blur is used. Try Enabling motion blur and it will look organic.

    Cheers but I ended up going another way with it and just using particular and a linear wipe. Didn’t turn out too bad either. Thanks anyway
