gpapaioa Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hello everyone! Does anyone have any idea, how to create a text terminal effect in Houdini (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAd-tbUV4Nk)? The Font SOP is very simple. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadstorm Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 If you enable the export of attributes from the Font SOP, you can then use an Assemble SOP to pack each letter to a single primitive based on the i@textindex attribute. With each letter as a single packed primitive, you can just group the points that represent the packed primitives based on an animated bounding box, and delete anything outside the box.

konstantin magnus Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 A delete node could run over text indices using an expression like (@textindex+1)>=@Frame typo.hipnc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpapaioa Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hello again. I want to build and extra feature where I set a maximum number of lines (like a computer screen) and when the terminal goes max+1, I want the code start moving up like a small computer screen. If i understand correctly "/n" is the ascii code for changing line right? My main idea is to add a bounding box around the max number of lines (screen area), count the rows, and when the rows go max+1, I will add a step with a transform node to move the entire text up, line by line. Let me know how it sounds to you or if there any other features in Font SOP that I could that easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Nice idea ( Can you make some progress and post your files )......My brother Greek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fencer Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Straight idea is to shift by size dependence and cut the rest. But for procedural way need to find out how to calculate font size properly, with uppercase and line spacing. typewriter_v02.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpapaioa Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Thank you again fencer, this is a very clever and great setup. There you go Librarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpapaioa Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone. I have uploaded a fully procedural (indie lc) setup for the terminal. I have put a few sticky notes, plus you can read the text from a .txt file. Thank you again fencer! terminal_setup.rar Edited June 7, 2020 by gpapaioa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
