aligning, again

hmm. that's much trickier! :ph34r:

The cumulative transform in the Copy SOP is a good solution to eeh!... cumulate the

transforms but the pb is:

to work properly, the Copy Sop should know all the bbox sizes for each stamped geometry in the same time,

but an expression in it's /tx channel evaluate for one single stamped geometry.

Everything depends on how your text is procedurally generated...

Knowing that, i think i can help.

Otherwise, i've got no solution for an arbitrary text.

:unsure:

well, the text is not procedurally generated, its stored in string attributes inside a geo file, which is exported from another application. The textlength varies between 0 and around 70 characters. The font sop uses the points expression to get the string attribute (the point to be used is determined via stamping (using the current copy number variable)

Hey edward, could you maybe describe your idea a bit more detailed, I have no idea how a deformer could help in this scenario

Thanks again

The thing is to store somewhere the list of bbox sizes ( or just lengths) of each object, as an attribute for example, without thinking about stamping, and then you can use the cumulative

transform.

Inscribe theparameters in the geometry of an object...

Because the Copy SOP produce a single object, all the parameters from the stamped geometry are

lost... you have to inscribe them in the geometry of another object.

it's hard to explain..

Look at what i've just done

It does the right job :)
