#Text to particles to text
strange sail
Ok, I am trying to achieve a similar transition to this one:

I've made the text turn into particles which was pretty easy, the problem is that I want to add an extra part to this transition, particles morphing into another text.
The first approach, which I had more success with, is using Point Cache.
The problem with this is that it is graph specific and in order to have more transitions for different texts(sprites) you need to create more vfx graphs which sucks
That approach allowed me to come this far tho:

However, as I mentioned above, this approach has a huge downside.
Another approach would be using a Texture 2D instead of the point cache but the problem is that I can't figure out how to use a Texture 2D instead of a point cache in order to obtain the particle positions and colors
Here is what happens when I do the same thing with a texture 2d instead of a point cache:

In case you can help me solve that issue it would be awesome, here is what I was recommended by Uri but I don't really understand what the he was trying to say since I am quite inexperienced when it comes to vfx graph:
Ah I didnt get that was a requirement. Well we have done something similar but for 3D objects. You will have to use the Set position from map node and bake your data into a texture. For text I suppose you can render out a high res black and white version of it. Sample that, for every pixel that is white, write its x y index remapped to r and g values in a new texture and use that as your position map
Ok, so in case you are not able to help me implement what Uri recommended here is the issue I ran into with the first approach.
I can spawn in particles properly in their starting position like so:

The problem is that I can't use the blend position which I've seen in this video:

So what exactly am I supposed to do?????
Thanks in advance.
