I just want to thank Hiroto @tg_jp for all of his wonderful scripts, without them I wouldn't be able to imagine things like this. I know it is nothing spectacular but I like the idea of animating this as an opener for some videos and I'm sure it will look cool
What I did:
1. Extruded my logo
2. Sweept my logo (metal profile)
3. created one long cylinder, turned 90º
4. Created a Particle Array with 96 instances in the Y direction
5. Command "Particle to Polygon"
6. Used Hiroto's Boolean Cut several times with the splines of my logo
7. Bob's your uncle
I know this could probably be done directly with the boolean tool "intersect" and a second extrusion of the logo, but I have tried those commands more than a few times and I always seem to run into trouble. One I can recall happening more than once is, after invoking the boolean operation I get nothing, the two objects are gone and there's no object resulting from the operation. That has happened to me a few times, so I decided to give the script a go, and it works nicely. I did get a few error messages that I will post in the script thread, but in the end it worked fine.
