Shape Generator - A text shape*
Similar to
2D Text
, but as a shape.
This layer turns each letter into a shape. You can choose whether Smode applies
Shape Modifier
to the whole string or to individual characters:
If unchecked, a
Shape Modifier
will be applied to each character.
For instance a gradient fill color applied to a text:
-
Merged into a single shape
-
Not merged into a single shape
When you edit a text, Smode creates a group of
Bezier
shapes (one for each character). “Closed” characters (like the letter ‘O’) are broken down into
Group of shapes
.
Variables:
- Merge Into Single Shape: True if the text is considered a single entity, False if it is considered a group of separate shapes
- Text: Text content
- Font: Font of the text
- Typeface Style:
- Justification:
