Apply Text Fill

Intro

Apply Text Fill can be used as a Material Behaviour on a Text Shape to set the materials of characters, lines, words or partial strings in a procedural way.

UI

Mode - Choose a mode for the selection:

  • Regex - Set a Regular Expression to determine which parts of the string will be selected. There are several presets available at the top of the Attribute Editor UI.
  • Specific Indices - Manually enter the indices to determine which lines/ words/ characters are selected. Enter comma separated values (e.g. 0, 4, 7) or create ranges using colons (e.g. 1:4) or a combination of both (e.g. 2, 3:5). Entering the string first or last will procedurally select those indices.
Regex

Cavalry supports ECMAScript regex.

Index Mode:

  • Line - Fill each line within the string defined by Specific Indices.
  • Word - Fill each word within the string defined by Specific Indices.
  • Character - Fill each character within the string defined by Specific Indices.

Specific Indices - Set the indices to select. Values should be comma , separated for lists or colon : seperated for ranges. e.g. 0,1:3,8 will select indices 0, 1, 2, 3 and 8. You can also enter first or last to procedurally select those indices. Note that a space character is included as an index.

Fill Color - set the colour for the lines/ words/ characters within the selection.

Shaders - Connect Shaders to apply to the selection. You can also right click > Add Shader to add a new Shader.
