I really like the text effect Pom used in the footer contest, and would like to use the same grid-type method of creating mc letters but with a different effect. i understand how to change the parameters and shapes of the letters, but can’t seem to figure out which piece of code is purely for the explosion effect. :sigh: basically, i want the letters but with the ‘Repel’ effect from
