Hey guys! I need help with Cinema 4D!
So, I'm making an intro and have used 2 Motext's, one with a fillet cap to get this effect on the text:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (Ignore the whole thing, I know it's dreadful right now :/ )

I have to use the rigid body tag on both of them for the light balls to be able to bounce off the text, right? But because the 2 texts are sort of in each other, once played, they hit each other and bounce off to china... [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

How do I get around this problem?! Please help!

Not sure if this will work but it's worth a shot Try to take the two text's and merge them into one another as in group them into one text. This can be done in Photoshop and Cinema 4D which allows you to take multiple layers and merge them into one.

No no haha, don't put it into Photoshop You can merge layers into 1 on Photoshop and Cinema 4D! Just Shift click both layers in Cinema 4D, then Right Click and select "Connect Objects"

Well I don't know exactly what your setup is, or what you are trying to achieve, but int the rigid body, go to the Dynamics tab and change "dynamic" to "off".

I tried that and then the balls that are meant to bounce if it, they just go through it don't they?

It shouldn't; it should do exactly what you need if I understood the information you gave.
