  • “Fake” 3D Text (Extrusion)

    Posted by Gigi Marzo on August 29, 2020 at 3:53 pm

    Hi everybody ☺

    I’ll learn to do a text animation like this https://youtu.be/eYWCUGmGuss?t=7 (“something great”). But I’d like to have a text that comes to me, not the “tail” extrude in the opposite direction… So I tried to use 3d space to extrude text but I recreate the similar animation, with the “tail” that “go to backwards” … How can I do to get an “extrusion” to me?

    I hope I’ve been clear, thank u in advance. 🙂

    you could create multiple keyframes: 1. for extruding the text 2. for advancing the text forward
    this way it will look as the extrude is pushing forward instead of backwards

    You could also rotate the text layer by 180 degrees and invert the scale on the x axis, eg -100%. That way the layer is flipped and extrudes towards you but looks normal
