Some time ago someone wanted to have a text emerge from a liquid or
something like that. Now I stumbled upon this avi I made last year. It's
very short and not very smooth (it could need some more frames) but I
believe it shows that it can look quite nice (with some improvements).
Any ideas?

If I remember it right I think the person wanted actual deformations from
amorphous substance to rigid writing, or vice versa.  If so this wouldn't do
then, and I can't think of anything that would unless maybe the SoftText utility
could.  Who else would know but you about that.  Anyway, this animation doesn't
seem to have the text coalesce from the blobs, more like it emerges whole.

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.

I agree this probably is not what the person was looking for, that's why
I didn't post it before. I'm afraid I don't understand your explanation
but that's caused by my poor understanding of the english language. I'll
see if I can find a way to make some improvements.

Regards,

Remco
