3D Text Shatter Effect – Tutorial
I’m going to show you how to make a 3D text shatter effect. This effect is made in two programs, Cinema 4D and Photoshop.If you haven’t heard of Cinema 4D before it is a relatively easy to use 3d application, it is quite similar to 3dsMax or Maya.

by Aral Balkan One of the iconic representations of the digital age is an image of the ubiquitous digital screen, stereotypically represented as a grid of brightly-lit pixels. This, like many of our other traditional perceptions of digital and interactive experiences, are either changing or being replaced altogether as we enter the post-PC era. New devices have such high resolution displays that individual pixels become imperceptibly small. Other devices, like the Amazon Kindle, eschew pixels altogether — opting to use electronic ink. These new devices are radically transforming what is possible in digital visual design and this has radical implications for digital typography. The death of the pixel leaves you with a flowing, magazine-quality canvas to design for. It wasn't too long ago that there was one set of rules for use of type on print and use of type on screen.
