MEL & PARTICLE EVENT

MEL & PARTICLE EVENT

You can save your self a lot of trouble by just emmiting particles
from those surface with emit direction and add a bit of randomness,
then just play it backwards, or disconnect particles from time node and
animate.

Otherwise you can set up particle event in Particles->Particle collision
events...
This will write mel on it's own...

You can also emit particles from B&W picture, and add don't emit from black,
then animate sequence of images to clear up definition of logo in white, thus
forming logo out of particles...

Hope this helps...
