Re: Creating an ocean of text layers, all reacting to a displacement map

Yes, I'm simply trying to simulate a large body of water using words. I got very close with Trapcode Form by creating a plane of sprites (my words) and applying the displacement map to it to simulate the subtle waves. But Form won't allow the words to rotate as they move along the waves so I am using these expressions instead.

I would love to know if there is a simpler solution because all of these expressions are severely affecting AE... I am getting the timeout error almost every time I RAM preview now.
