Subtitles - Jitter Recipe 28 no longer working? (6.1)
Hi. I'm trying to follow the Jitter recipe 28, to make subtitled text with a black border around it. I have used this example a year or two ago, but now I seem no longer able to get it to work. I redownloaded Jitter recipes and I just get solid white text. The code looks correct, so I am confused as to why it does not work. Is recipe 28 now broken? I'm using Max 6.1.9.
set @depth_enable 0 on the gl.text2d.
in the transition from max 5 to max 6, this became necessary.
Thanks for your help. When I make that change (@depth enable 0) on the gl.text2d it only gives me white text, not the outlined white/black text I used to get from the example. Am I missing something?
I'm still looking at this, to no avail. Is there any way to generate outlined text in Jitter (eg. white text with a black boarder around it, to increase its legibility)? All I manage to get is overlaid white text. I don't have Max5 anymore, but seemed to recall that Recipe 28 did this. Am I wrong?
the patch is simply drawing a black colored version of the text underneath and slightly offset from the white text. you can adjust that offset for a more pronounced shadow effect.
