Text Render - Modulate Font

Post by headphonic »

Ive been playing with typography a ton lately - especially after realizing i can instance fonts, but what would be really fun is if i could send modulation to the font being used so im not stuck with just one. Is that possible?

Would you like to have text morphed to another font, or just change fonts?

Would also be fun to bring Text in as shapes and use some of the Shape nodes to morph in Wire.

Well, we have polygons which can be morphed.

That would be an insane amount of work to build out that point grid for each letter haha (and what font would be a standard?) I could do it for everyone if they think it's needed. I didn't know if it would be possible to render out the text node as polygons or not? That would be an amazing future feature (if it's even possible?)

Something like this, but without the need to draw a point grid for each letter ;)

morphing would be great, but honestly just being able to switch the font in real time is powerful. I do a lot of abstract typographic experimentation ( https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChqZErnp ... _copy_link ) , and being able to either cycle through the whole font list with a modulator, or target a select range/group of fonts opens up a whole range of creative possibilities.

I also agree with Arvol regarding shapes and polygons.
