Animating Exploding 007 Text

Animating the Exploding Text

The exploding text was originally created in the first part of the assignment. It is based on the use of the reactor ‘Rigid Body Collection.

Stage 1 of Impact:

After Impact:

The animation and making process of breaking up the text can be seen earlier in the report.

• Refer to: Artifact 2 – 007 Logo

After importing the animated text onto the scene the same process with the lighting was used to give the fog effect. Similar scene background is also used because the bullet travelling from the Walther PPK handgun will now smash its way through the logo.

The timing of the bullet striking the logo was edited and adjusted using key frames. By using the ‘set key’ this enables me to create frames manually and have more control over this particular animation sequence.

 I used the object properties to reduce the visibility of the bullet to 0.0 so as it would not be seen on rendering once it has impacted into the logo.

Track View Curve Editor enable the fine adjustments and smoothness to the animation.  

A target camera was installed on this scene. Using the timeline and key frames this enabled me adjust and move the camera through the scene and reposition it as the bullet impacts into the logo, giving a more beneficial effect and enabling the viewer to see the bullet coming and the logo from a bird’s eye view.
