also, needless to say, I changed the point of gravity 🙂

thanks 🙂

basically, I just followed this tutorial:
https://www.creativecow.net/show.php?forumid=1&page=/articles/unguren_ben/shatter/index.html

and did some modifications. the shatter effect works with black and white, and I wanted some little pieces of “y” and “d” letters to be swept with wind first. All I did was animating my gradient ramp, so that white pieces would form beneath the letters first. Also, I played a little with the “shatter threshold” property to create a gap of time between first crumbles of text and the rest of sweep. If you follow the tutorial you will see what I mean..

thnx again,

update:

guys, could you check out http://www.kaankaner.com/yd.zip. it’s a 5mb .mov test render of the thing I’ve been talking about.

I used the shatter effect which works pretty well I think, but to spice it up, I would like create some kind of turbulance to the wind, like the particles rotated and moved also in the z and y axis, maybe following a helix type path. I guess it’s not possible with the shatter effect, what do you think could be the solution?

all comments are welcome, thnx

actually, I found this one (https://www.creativecow.net/show.php?forumid=1&page=/articles/unguren_ben/shatter/index.html) to be more useful, by changing the point of gravity, it looks like the wind. Bu I doubt if I can adjust the wind turbulance and stuff..

thanks anyways 😉

dude, I can’t thank you enough 🙂
