popsicle Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of an approach to procedurally have a pen write up effect like the attached video? Few thoughts on the experiments I did - Tracing a font or an AI file results in text outlines and ideally it would need to generate a single curve possibly in the center of each Alphabet to even start with the effect, not sure how to go about that.

popsicle Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 @Librarian thanks for your reply. All single lines fonts are automatically converted to double line in the Font Sop, wondering if im missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Don't use a font then. Use a program like Illustrator to generate hi-res PNG you can supply to the Trace node. Or an Illustrator 8 file with an outlined version of your text. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
