Moving glowing lights with TEXT!!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

WOLAND:
Thanks!
Before getting at work, I must point out that the sphere is gonna rotate this way (please ignore the colors)... it will be the same procedure, isn'it?

Currently, I've put textures with text, to prevent seeing the text backwards when it rotates, so every balloons is splitted in two objects.

If I put the "square of light" between them, I think I must keep them always parallel to the camera... which is something I would like to avoid, since I don't remember how to do it anymore ;)
Do you think there would be any other way?

Thanks again,

The video is showing as private, not able to be seen.  Are you able to adjust the settings in YouTube?

WOLAND:
sorry!
it should work now

ENSONIQ5:
That's fixed it, cheers.  Setting the orientation of an object relative to 'world' keeps it at a fixed angle in all dimensions, so the rectangles would always be facing the front regardless of their location in space.  You can also set them to 'Facing' and relative to the camera (eg. 'camera01').

Creating an actual 3D blob of light with soft edges that can be rotated about is not simple in Anim8or, though I wonder if the dielectric effect could be wrangled to do something like this.  Others may have come up with solutions that look good, I'll have a fiddle with dielectrics and I'll let you know.

WOLAND: I'm still not not sure I know exactly what you want to do. Is it something like this?
