Hello, I have a little problem with a logo animation where I'm currently working on. My goal is to let an object explode in to several equal sized blocks, which come together again and form a new object. Is there a technique or an IPAS availible which is capable of doing this effect. Thank's for any response. Danny. AVC

Hi Danny, I've played with this kind of effect. The best approach I've found is the explode both objects into two similar sets of blocks and then use Elastic Reality to morph sequence 1 into a reverse sequence 2. Providing the effect isnt more than a few seconds in durtaion, this works quite well. I haven't tried it with mataballs, but a similar approach could be taken probably with better results. — James — Choreo Motion —
