animating 3dtext

mcintal's icon

Hi,
I'm working on a patch in Jitter with 3dtext. I am attempting to have separate lines of text that are timed to appear and follow a designated path of animation (the text is floating through a maze). Each line of text will follow the same path. I'm new to Jitter and I'm unsure of what object would be best to complete these animations. Someone suggested using the line tool to change coordinates with messages, but i'm wondering if there is something else that could work.
Let me know if you have any ideas!
Thanks!

wow, jit.anim.path is cool !

@TOBIAS and how can we hide the path ?

are you refering to the help patch? get rid of the jit.gl.path object then. jit.anim.path doesn't visualize itself in the render context...

Well, I learned from anim.path's help patch, before that I really don't know how to create path animation in Jitter.

You are right, Thanx very much
I saw [jit.gl.path @name glpath] in the bottom this time :)

thanx again!
