Text arranged along a curve with transparency
Nov 25 2013 | 8:07 pm
So I'm trying to get some text to display along a curve as you might find in an Illustrator Text to Path tool. Is it possible to simply add some sort of curve to a jit.gl.text3d object? I've looked all over the forums for an answer to this and will appreciate any pointers.
- Nov 26 2013 | 10:59 pmthere is nothing built-in that will do this, however you can roll your own tool using jit.path. you need to put jit.gl.text3d into non-automatic mode. this will allow you to change the position of each letter. a possible better solution is to use javascript or poly~ to manage multiple instances of gl.text3d.you can create a curve using jit.path, and use the outputeval matrix to output a specific number of positions, equally spaced along the curve.you can then iterate that matrix, and send those positions to gl.text3d, one for each letter.basic patch to get you started below:
