One possible way I can think of for doing this would be to use my object 
pattern patch with my eval_pattern() patch to place blob components only 
in areas within a text object. As the animation goes on, increase the 
number of components and decrease their size, and eventually replace 
with a normal text object(once the blob shape gets close enough the jump 
isn't very noticeable).

Another way might be to use my proximity pattern patch with an 
isosurface, but that might be very slow.
