Particle Not Flow...

[robert taylor]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to create a particle flow using text that disapears with a gradient ramp, a bit like the words are disolving into sand with wind (space warp) blowing the particles away like dust into an outer space scene (like being sucked into a black hole).

 

This worked on a sphere object just fine but does not seem to want to work on the text i created.I am not sure if me using bevel modifyer and path deform on text has anything to do with my troubles,Does anyone here have any answers,As always any advice is greatly appreciated .

I am not sure about the setup you have there but you can try putting an editable poly modifier on top of the stack so particle flow sees the text as a mesh?

Allan McKay has a great tutorial for this.
