Hi there,
I have a client that have asked me to create a countdown using shapes and numbers that are made up of lines (see attached images).
They created these storyboards in illustrator and used the 'envelope' tool to distort them into shape. So whilst they look 3D in their storyboards, they are actually just 2D shapes that have been bent.
I can't for the life of me work out:
1. how to build shapes like these in C4d, and
2. how I could possibly morph from one number to the next.
I have a feeling I am just going to have to animate these in after effects and animate the strokes on and off, however making them bend in c4d would be amazing... even if I can't work out how to morph them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have also attached the illustrator file with the vector versions of the numbers.
Thanks.
