  • Reversing text character order

    Posted by Chet Wesley on January 31, 2008 at 3:19 pm

    I am trying to get some text to appear in reverse order… for example, if you typed in the word “doggie” I would like to have it appear as “eiggod” (just an example)… I can’t just type it in backwards because I need to be able to do this with a lot of words and be able to animate it from forward to reverse order.

    I would think there has to be a parameter which would allow you to animate this, but I haven’t found it.

    Thanks if anyone knows.

    by the way, I was able to get the characters reversed using the tracking animator, but the spacing looks funny when it is reversed – not naturally spaced like it is when it is forwards. None of the parameters seem to help. Any ideas?
