ok figured this out:
– add a null
– put an expresso tag on it
– add 4x user data entries to the null (0-100)
– drop the null into the expresso tag and turn on the user data at the bottom
– drag the icon of the transparency gradient of a standard shader into the xpresso window (couldnt get this to work with arnold)
– connect the four user data entries to the material tag in expresso (shader properties>gradient>know position) -
should anyone discover this thread – the answer is to uncheck proportional spacing in the Numbers effect.

hi arthur
this is really great! and VERY CLOSE to exactly what i’m looking for. thank you very much indeed.
is there a way to
a) have this at the start of the path too? so text before the first point is switched off.
b) the fade out at the end of the line is very elegant – and i will use that in places – but is there a way to make the letters switch off abruptly without a fade?
thank you again for your help with this. fyi it’s for a non-profit video about nutrition.

a) if i create ANOTHER null
b) and then use the same method to acquire the global position from the (still-parented) child null that does work.
