Sweep nurbs growth is a great solution. You can use the spline in the details to get an un even flow shape too.

Here are couple files you can see the settings in…they are very simple and not all that different from each other. Done in version 10.5.
A couple other things that might help:
-You cannot modify the collider object after you have the cloth tag applyed…delete the collider Tag and make your changes then re apply it.
-Two objects with Cloth tags will not collide with each other…no you cannot have a collider and cloth tag on the same object….connect the two objects and turn on self collision in the cloth tag.
-There are a couple tutorials on C4D cafe for cloth…and one or two on c4dportal too.
-Remotion makes a good dynamics plug in that works well.https://www.randyarchy.com/Cloth.zip
Hope this helps,

I had one for a while…it s great if you are familiar with Cinema but not advanced… he gives you a great intro into most aspects of the program but does not go in depth at all…
I got a lot out of it at first. I didnt bother getting the download files and had no issues what so ever./Randy

You will need a collider object for a floor to prevent going off screen.
You can put stiffness over 100% and flexion works like a stiffness too…(it trys to return the polys to the original shape)… I can make an example file when i get back to work on monday if you cant get it…
There is an amazing Cloth tutorial on CMVFX.com its 50 dollers but amazing./Randy

Use cloth.

reacting with a floor is not simple.
But to prevent things from going through it i tend to use constraint tags…but as Steven stated above there is no easy way to get “nice” dynamics.

c4dcafe.com has loads of tutorials, lynda.com is a great place to start.

This one can be done a few more ways too…depending on how you made the text and how detailed it needs to be…
-first I would try using a text spline in a sweep nurbs and keyframing the “end growth” in the attributes.
This works well with some fonts but not all.Or
the next thing I would try is animating the Alpha channel in the texture…this is not so bad with square fonts but can be boring to do since you are playing with a gradiant and it is very dependent on the texture…ect.There are more ways but these are the two i would try first.

I did not really think that smoke in a box could be the easyest thing any plug in could do until i got it.
Haha one botton…thats really cool./Randy
