Super Text

by Johnny Mograph in Modifier Setups


Super Text is a Geometry node setup for making text design and animation in Blender. The perfect complement to any video that needs 3D text, great for Motion Graphics

Design Features

You can achieve a complete custom design with the 7 nodes (Main extrusion, Stroke, Instances, and Custom Object, Plasma Fill, Plasma Side, Wireframe/Instances) and you can also achieve a good-looking design with the Simple design node

You have options like:

    • ON/OFF each piece of the text (main extrusion, steps, instances along curve, custom objects)
    • Select materials for each part of the design (Procedural or image-based textures )
    • Bevel and shade smooth options
    • Round corners
    • Select materials for each part of the design
    • Choose any font
    • Minimum and maximum values set to avoid freeze blender (like accidentally set Subdivision at 999 for example)

    CHANGELOG

    V1 (release, september 2022)

    • Custom animation easing
    • Transform options: rotate, scale, translate
    • Text on curve
    • Independent IN/OUT animations
    • You can set any custom material for each part of the text (only procedural materials)
    • Turn on/off stagger animation

    V2 (december 2022)

    • Fix Errors
    • Remove Text on curve option
    • Completely remake of Design nodes, now we have a Simple Node design and multiple nodes for custom designs: Fill, Stroke, Instances, and Custom Object
    • UVMapping in order to support PBR textures
    • Add random to transformations (animation)

    V3 (april 2023)

    • 3 new node groups for Text Design: Plasma Fill, Plasma side, and Wireframe/Instances
    • Normalized animation values: now the animation values always will be between 0 an 1, independently of the long of text or effector size
    • Radial animation option (appear from the center) added
    • Line delay option when is a multiple lines text

    V4 (september 2023)

    • Super Text now also works with SVG curves, with 2 new node setups
    • Remake of some design nodes to improve performance and easier use
    • Now change the pivot easily for rotation, scale, translation
    • The Text-on-curve feature came back  from version 1
    • Some parameters remapped between 0 and 1 or -1 and 1 for easier and more understandable use
    • Now the parameters that most affects performance are marked with an * so that they are easily identifiable

    V5 (january 2024)

    • Node tree simplified
    • Now set the line breaks writing an asterisk *
    • Preview the pivot point for an easiest control (remember turn off for the render)
    • Preview falloff
    • Random transformation: constraint the axis
    • Spheric Falloff: position control
    • Fix on the Custom node object
    • Tutorials updated to version 5
