  “Type On” effect in C4D?

  Posted by Dylan Murphy on February 16, 2011 at 2:23 am

  Hi,

  been searching but can’t find a way to make my 3D text do the following:

  1. start with text string
  2. last few characters removed as if hitting backspace key
  3. New characters appear one by one as if typed to replace them

  Any suggestions appreciated – thanks

  You can keyframe the text field of the text spline or MoText object.

  Finally got back to this problem – if you’re new to C4D like me – and searching for an answer for this – I got the best result using an animated Plain Effector to reduce the scale uniformly to -1 (to obscure and reveal the text) and used basic keyframing of text parameter to change the text before a reveal.
