Procedurally Animate Handwriting in Blender | Blender Tutorial

Cool video. Just a suggestion though. You can use the spline index number to select the ones that you need flipped. Keep rocking! 🤘

Cool tutorial

I can’t post polls yet, so comment below if you want the next video to be a beginner tutorial on the new official simulation nodes in Blender 3.5 geometry nodes!

Nice tutorial, thank you. In the string input value where text goes, can a paragraph or longer be put into it?

This is amazing. Thank you for the tutorials ❤️

Amazing ! It reminds me of the scene in Matilda when the chalk wrote a threatening message to Trunchbull. I wonder if we could recreate this in vfx.

Great tutorial. How do I find the point count of the uppercase 'S' of the Fancy font?

sos un genio00o0o0o0 muchiiasimas gracias!

This dude can math

Good day or night. Thank you for an interesting lesson. Everything is beautiful and interesting with fonts. When I inserted the SVG drawing, I encountered an error or did not understand the lesson. Curves are drawn by 40-60 percent. What is the reason for this and how it can be cured or corrected.

Thanks, Nice Tutorial, How can we control the start frame and end frame of handwriting in this animation?

Thanks, it's amazing. And I'm wondering if you can post a short tutorial about how to do the dynamic painting on the canvas to achieve such effect?

This is amazing but finding a font that works is haaaard! A lot of fonts I tried to use give me a 'contour' curve. As in, it doesn't do a single line for each letter, it traces the contour of the letter, which screw up the rest of the nodes.

awesome! thank you for the tutorial. So it seems its easier to flip stroke direction in blender geo nodes than in after effects. I guess I will switch all my handwriting animation projects over to blender now :D How did you determine the values? Just trial and error? I'd love to try out a few more fonts with this method..

I love it brother! I just have one question , how do I set the animation to a different keyframe?

Cause it just starts immediately on 0 and i want the animation to start at 60 and end it at 300

Do i add a different node for that? If so , what nodes do i use?

very nice video bro,
how to change font round shape to square ?
and give some bounce effect in font? please reply

Delighted with the tutorial, here is my mental hug subscription

how can i add thickness to the text without making the animation?

Hi, nice tutorial. Need some help though. I can't seem to apply any materials to it.

Hi. Very impressive ! How about 2 lines of words ? One below the other ?

Hey. thanks for the great tutorial and the work u put into ur Video and Blender. But i was kind a dissapointed as i figured out, that u cant use any other Fonts at all for this set up. I tried at least 5 other Hand-Written-Fonts and nothing worked. I was forced to download the same font as U. I guess its great to have this node set up, but its only a "One time Project" for me. So better use other methods for future projects. Anyways, thanks again.

is there a way to get a cube to follow the movement of the letters being written?

When I add colour to the text...the colour doesnt change. How can i fix that

Thanks for the tutorial, i need to know, how to get the information of the reversal positions, because im using a different string

Hello I got everything set up but I am having trouble adding material to the text. Where in the nodes do I add the Set Material Node? I have tried in multiple areas but nothing seems to be working for me

how the hell did you figure that out?
:O

Great tutorial! Thanks for this. Can this be adapted to using thicker script texts?

where i can see spessific number, in case D latter?

thank you, it's very helpful

Amazing video, thank you!!!! Please please, can you give me advice for changing material. Im lost. I've tried so many options but no way to change it. Thank you very much

why not just use the build modifier?

Very helpful video ☺. Is it possible to share your .blend file, you showed as example in this video?

Wow that was great - nice tutorial! I am looking into if I can make a switch between after effects and blender. And this truly looks amazing when dealing with the pretty old fashion ways after effects does graphics. :-) I know they are very different programs - but it seems like blender covers a lot of my usecases :-)

Thank you very much for this video, it was very helpfull. Maybe a few suggestions to improve it as new geo nodes are now available to simpify the workflow...
1) The "Curve Info" node could be used to get the index of each spline in the text curve (the index of each letter in the string) to simplify the separation of letters instead of relying on length. This removes any dependency on the specific details of the font itself.
2) An "Index Switch" node can then use this index to select from a list of booleans which splines need to be reversed. Exposing the inputs of this switch in the "Group Input" let you adapt this list to the individual letters in any string you create.

Thank you very much for the kind help.
