Controls

Parameter / Script Name Type Default Function
Enabled / enabled Boolean On
Use Plain Text / use_plain_text Boolean Off
Source Text / plain_text
Enable Extrude / enableExtrude Boolean Off When checked, the Text will be extruded to create a 3D mesh
Extrude Size / extrudeSize Float 0.05
Extrude Offset / extrudeOffset Float 0 Offset the extrude from the center
Bevel Type / bevelType Choice Circle
- Straight
- Circle
- Inside Circle
- Engraved
- Expand
- None
Bevel Size / bevelSize Float 0 Size of the Bevel. Clamp to half of Extrude Size.
Bevel Segments / bevelSegments Float 2 Number of extra segments composing the bevel
Front Material / frontMaterial Material Link - Link to a Material. When empty, use the Fill Color
Bevel Material / bevelMaterial Material Link - Link to a Material. When empty, use the Fill Color
Body Material / bodyMaterial Material Link - Link to a Material. When empty, use the Fill Color
Back Material / backMaterial Material Link - Link to a Material. When empty, use the Fill Color
UV Calculation / uvType Choice Fit
- Fit: Calculates the UVs by fitting the shape position inside a unit square. The texture details will scale with the size of the shape.
- Position: Calculates the UVs by using the shape position. Texture details will remain the same for all shapes.
- Composition: Same as Position, but respect the Composition ratio. Usefull if the texture comes from a another Composition of the same size, or if the format of the image texture is set on Composition Format.
Smooth Angle / autoSmoothAngle Float 30 Auto smooth the normals along the shape if the angle is above the auto smooth parameter, in degree
Anchor Point Grouping / anchorPointGrouping Choice Character Grouping of anchor points for character scaling and rotation.
- Character
- Word
- Line
Fixed Text Box / useFixedTextBox Boolean Off
Text Box / textBox 0, -500, 500, 0
Crop To Composition Format / cropToComp Boolean On Crops the region of definition of this effect to the format of the composition. Useful to increase performance if you do not need the effect to be defined beyond the bounds of the composition.
Motion-Blur Settings / motionBlurSettings Choice Disabled
- Disabled: Disable motion-blur for this layer
- Use Composition Settings: The motion-blur quality and shutter settings of the Composition are used
- Custom Settings: The motion-blur quality and shutter settings are local to this layer
Motion-Blur Method / motionBlurAlgo Choice Sampling
- Steps: Legacy motion-blur method, that renders the text as many times as specified by the Number of Divisions parameter
- Sampling: High fidelity motion-blur with customizable speed/quality
Motion-Blur Quality Mode / mbQualityMode Choice Adaptive Determines how the number of samples in the motion-blur computation. Adaptive uses a varying number of samples based on the speed of the element. In this mode the Motion-Blur Quality acts as a multiplier on the adaptive number of samples. Samples Count uses a user-supplied number of samples.
- Adaptive
- Samples Count
Motion-Blur Samples Count / mbSamples Float 90 Number of samples used to process the motion-blur. Higher means higher quality but longer to render. 0 disables motion-blur.
Motion-Blur Quality / mbQuality Float 0.6 Quality of the adaptive motion-blur sampling. 0 disables motion-blur. This acts as a multiplier on the number of samples determined by the adaptive mode.
Motion Blur Divisions / divisions Float 1 The number of samples to use for the motion-blur. The higher the number is, the more accurate is the motion-blur when large motion is involved, but the slower it is to render.
Motion Blur Shutter Angle / shutterAngle Float 180 The shutter angle controls the time period over which light can pass. A wider angle increases motion-blur
Motion Blur Shutter Phase / shutterPhaseType Choice Centered
- Centered: The shutter opens half the shutter duration before the current time and closes half the shutter duration after
- Start: The shutter opens at the current time and closes after the shutter duration is elapsed
- End: The shutter opens at the current time minus the shutter duration and closes at the current time
- Custom: The shutter opens at the time determined by a custom phase: the phase is an offset on the shutter angle, assuming the shutter opens at 0
Motion-blur Custom Phase / customPhase Float -90 An offset to the shutter angle, assuming the shutter opens at 0: A Shutter angle of 180 with a phase of -90 means that the shutter will be opened half a frame, centered around the current time
