Geometry Nodes - String to Curve

Tutorials, Tips and Tricks
1

I am trying to simulate a character writing text letters on a wall using the Trim Curve node. The String to Curve node creates curve instances for each letter therefore all the instances are trimmed at the same time rather than one after the other.

Additionally, the fill curve is ‘messing up’ the trim effect, although the final result is as I need.

I would appreciate some guidelines on how to solve both issues.

Many thanks

…Capture the instance indices, realize, then tweak the multipliers to get the right speed.

The other issue can be solved by using a “line font” and a curve-to-mesh with profile to create thickness.

Good luck.

zeroskilz: Many thanks for you prompt reply. The letters are now trimming as required and I’ve not quite nailed the fill curve issue but will work on it. Any suggestions as to a good source of ‘Line Fonts’ please.

Thanks again
