Logo to Earth globe particle effect??

[CEJ1976]

Hi,

 

I need to create a transformation from a piece of Text (3d logo) to an Earth (sphere) using some form of particle system.

 

Does anyone know how I might do this, or has anyone seen any nice samples recently that might be useful as a reference.

 

Thanks.

you need to be more pacific. you can blast/disintegrate it all depending what you want too do

 

once you have created your text then extude it covert down to a polygon then use the drop-down menu in the geometry choose the particle systems in the top view create a PArray now use the align tool to align it to your text.

 

align it too the world position in the XYZ check (tick) all three of them same in local once you have done this click on the modfiy panel under basic parameters pick object in your scene click on the text scoll down to you're load/save presets double click on the one you want this will load it into the window (present name.

under the particle generation you need to mess around with this all depending what you want too do and how long you want your things to last for how fast you want the speed, the life of the particles the display units etc

Hi,

 

That is great, thanks for that.

 

That is perfect for my starting point, as the text now disintegrates, but do you know how I make the disintegrated text then morph into a sphere?

 

Thanks for your help.

You cannot morph a 2d into a 3d because they are completely different. i could be wrong but every-time i try it never works. I would ask the autodesk fourm and see if you can if you get an answer saying you can then i would post it here
