Shatter Effect: Bringing a logo through a background
by brookegower on Dec 6, 2006 at 4:02:43 pm

I want to bring a logo(from behind the background)through the background and have the background take the shape of the logo as the logo emerges. Almost as if the background is molding itself around the logo. I think the shatter effect has the capabilities to do this but I don't know how to make it happen.

It sounds like you're describing an extrusion. Think of cookie dough coming out of one of those tubes that make fancy-shaped cookes.

Fo that, you're not going to want Shatter; you'll want to work with Illustrator documents and Zaxwerks.

You could also use the 3d text tutorial (http://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/new_read_post.cgi?forumid=2&postid=893499) to create the 3d logo. Animate the logo moving from behind a background (3D layer) to in front of it.

It's easily understood but this is easy to do using WaveWorld. You set your logo as the floor and animate it rising. If you have TotalTraining's AE stuff you can watch His Nibs do it for you. It's lovely.

Shatter might do it but it would be a completely different effect. You can pply Shatter two or more times to the same layer and use very small itmes as the pattern. You can get a granular effect, rather like sand, but you cannot do a liquid simulation with Shatter, AFAIK.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: "For crying out loud, read the freakin' manual."
