“Type Collapse” is a motion design experiment that investigates how soft body physics can radically transform static typography into something alive, tactile, and visceral.

This loop showcases a type-based object being squeezed, twisted, and deformed into an abstract organic tunnel. The result is hypnotic and oddly satisfying—blending chaos and control through simulation.

Creative Challenge

• Go beyond traditional motion typography

• Use soft body dynamics not just for realism, but as a design tool

• Let physics guide the form—embracing unpredictability

• Control color flow using lighting + shaders in Redshift

This piece is part of a broader study in using C4D’s soft body tools in a non-literal, expressive way. It’s not about mimicking real-world materials, but reimagining typography as a living organism—fluid, reactive, and experimental.
