matrix type

[LucentDreams]

I had to do this ages ago, we used shockwave to make a texture of numbers changing in a long vertical line, the applied that as highress textures on a really tall plane with alpha and some glow. then I simly made an array of planes and animated them along the Y axis, was definitely cheaper quality then the actual matrix effect but worked for the job needed and rendered super fast. problem was then using the higheres movie as a texture in another scnees now that was a long slow render.

Thanx Kai, the problem is that Warner is involved in the project?

ok, so several ways of doing this. you can do it with particles, or in after effects unmasking layers, or in cinema controlling the v offset of a texture on a sheet.

if you go the tp route, then set up a large emitter above the scene sending the originator particles down, and set up another pstorm node to emit particles from your first particles based on their age (i.e. when the particle reaches a certain age then it wil emit another particle and carry on traveling down the page) you will then feed the original particles position into the pstorm/pborn node to set the position of yor new child particle, htese particles will form teh stream or trail of particles.

then i suggest you go and look at sreks multiple shape emission example,

www.bonkers.de

to emit different text objects that animate their contents over time. to get more randomness you can also play with the particle age setting for these stream particles as they're emitted, so they start off at different points in the particles animatino cycle.

good luck.

if warner is involved you should be able to ask them to acquire the font used.

I have found a font that seems very similar to that seen in The Matrix. The font is called Aurabesh, and it is located...

Thanx a lot, the typo is not xactly the same I guess. I asked Warner, Kai, but they sent me the tltle typography (Reloaded) but not the one used in the effect.

thanx a lot for our help guys.
I will do my best with TP Sadie, I don't know why , I don't want to do it with AE this time?

:rolleyes:

Combustion2 has a 2D particle preset called "Matrix Falls"
that i renderd as a .mov file and Mapped on a flat plane behind this figure
in cinema4DXL7.3.3

you could likely do a similar effect AE 5.
Unless there is going to be some cameras panning around
the falling letters I would' nt bother setting up some complicated
particle set up in cinema for this.
