In this tutorial, we have discussed how to create an animation of falling letters using the Rigid Body Physics in Blender. It can be very helpful to create your promo or intro video. We have used several techniques together namely, breaking a text object into smaller pieces, adding a suitable rigid body scene, and adding a force field for the turbulence effect. Finally, we have talked about material setup & some cleanup. Please watch the video for the complete tutorial. If you have any question on this tutorial, please leave your comment below.
