in the movie time machine when the guy travels to the future the buildings are constructed piece by piece from the ground up. i am pretty sure this effect was not done by keyframe but with some type of program, expression, etc. does anyone know if this can be done in cinema. i know TP can do this but i am not sure it can achieve the results i hope for. another example is in a music video by some female singer. and another is in a Quikrete commercial. basically the object being put together is made up of smaller objects like in buildings, bricks or panels. or i once saw a boat with the same type of animation. when the animation is made the panels or such are shown assembling into the final shape of a building or other. i hope this made sense.
i know this can easily be achieved by turning off the render settings for each object, but i am looking for more of an animated boolean effect and i think by turning off the render setttings for each could get to confusing. anyone know of an expression or such.
