Re: Build image from words
by Thad Ciechanowski on Jul 30, 2008 at 6:43:00 pm

I've done a similar effect to this before.. if you're doing what I think you want to do.

Basically create words on different z depths and have a camera fly out from them. You'll need lots of words.

Have your logo in "stencil alpha" mode (in 2D, presuming there's an alpha) and as the camera flys to the right point, have your logo's scale property follow. This will give the illusion that you're flying out from the logo made of words.

Then have your logo fade up normally in place of the "stencil alpha" logo. Be sure to fade out and END the stencil alpha logo or you'll have problems.

This will look realy cool, but won't provide a 3D textured sculpture of the logo. If you want that look you're going to need to use some displacement maps to define texture at the end of the animation.

Hope this helps.
