Particles : Text from particle mist

[yoni-cohen]

doing it in aftereffects or combustion would be easier using blur effects, if you have particle flow you can use a dynamic material of text on a facing particle and animate it's blur offset paramater in the bitmap rollout,
this way you start with something hazy and it settels down.

i did something similar, i use a PCloud atteched to the text and i migrate de particles from inside the text to the outside, and later in Premier put the video backwards.

Ok,

I'm at work now, but I'll send it to you when I get home.

You'll probably be asleepby then, cause of the time difference and all.

B.T.W. By reversing the ani in AE, you can get the effect of tha particles forming text..
