How to create text made out of particles!

Hi there!

Once again turning to this helpful community to get some advice.

Im wondering how it is possible to create a word made out of particles much like this example from cristian wright called particle metrix.

any ideas?

best regards niklas

ooops sorry missed that.

I couldnt find the post i made so i thought that it when posting it on the forum.

Now i see that i missplaced it in the dicussion thread.

Thanks for notifying me.

Anyways, did this last night.... interested in seeing what Steve's setup looks like!

This is somewhat of a futurismo rip off.

I also tried to click on that link earlier, but I could not see it even when logged in.

Re: no access?

Apologies for this issue --- I had changed it from a forum post into a feature request, and I screwed up the permissions.

"Create Text from Particles" should now be accessible again.

Re: emotion

haven't messed with the kineme particles much but have them in collision action with an object. in theory you could make a 3d model of your text and fill it with particles, i have been doing that with real flow for sometime now, meaning it takes for ever for the particles to settle in a volumetric fluid setting inside real flow, but i have been playing with realtime solutions in unity3d. there is a program thats i thought was pretty cool made with cocoa... http://www.adrienm.net/emotion/eMotion.html maybe a particle paint solution with some conditionals affecting physics and a masked ci filter filter could do something similar on a accumulated particle cluster could be similar in quartz. i know apples app motion does shape painting which is really just a particle brush replicator, and accumulator based on a vector or alpha movie.
