Help Particle Disintegration nParticles Maya


#1

Hello!

I’ve had to get into particles for a project at work. It’s type disintegrating slowly over time. The type is made out of particles only and is affected by turbulence and wind pushing them off the screen. The effect should be similar to chunks of particles breaking off at random time until there is nothing left of the letters. I don’t have a good approach to this so I am thinking perhaps expressions could animate the dynamic weight, conserve, mass (I’m not sure). My deadline is Friday so any suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

I’m not sure if I understand, but it sounds like all you need is to fill 3D word/sentence with particles, set a volume on turbulence field that travels through particles making them fly away. :hmm:

If not send a link to the effect you’re after (a similar one at least).
