Create melting paint effect on text

Post by Geri Meyer » Tue Feb 14, 2017 12:13 pm

Dear all,

I've eavesdropped on this fine forum for quite some time now and learned massive amounts. For that: hats off to you all!

Recently, i came across a tut from eyedesign, where he creates a melting paint effect on text (https://vimeo.com/140048336) using x particles. I really would like to achieve the same with RF - but I can't find any tuts on this particular topic.

Does anyone here have any tips where I can find an in depth tut or maybe explain how I can acchieve this effect?

Many thanks from Austria,

Kind regards,
Geri

Hi Geri,

welcome!

I don't know if you had any progress on your own with this task, but you could have a look at this tutorial:

It uses the Filter daemon, which is a very simple way of starting to experiment with melt effects.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for replying! I was aware of that tut, which is a great one, but not really suitable for the exact effect I'm trying to achieve.

I'm now building it with use of a filter daemon that's triggered on vorticity (and then animating the filter). It works, but I'm finetuning it, because still not satisfied with the result :)

Any way, thanks again!

Kind regards,

Geri
