Polygon unfolding - replicate C4D mograph effect

Support Animation and Rigging

I’m still a newb in Blender but was wondering if anyone had an idea to replicate something like this:

I thought I could tie a driver to each square, and I tested this but then didnt think I’d be able to randomize it effectively (like the blend in the video) and it seemed like overkill to have to have a driver tied to each square in the scene.

Maybe this is more a job for a custom python script? Not sure since I’m kinda new still and probably not aware of an easy way to do this…?

thanks!

I shall dig into this more… thanks Jimmy Gunawan for posting your tests
