Tutorial 118: Text Breakup
🕑 Added 2018-04-05 04:34:19 +0000 UTC I was really hoping to get this out to you guys earlier. But we are a day early, so there's that! I ended up having a project pushed back. That really worked out in my favor because I severely underestimated the amount of changes I needed to make to the website in order to accommodate our newest products—shirts! We got merch like a god church you guys. I can't believe I quoted that, but it's just too good to pass on.I don't know if anyone will want these. There's not been a huge—or really any—call for them. But I've been using Printful for direct-to-garment printing for other side projects of mine, and I figured I'd make up a few cool designs for Workbench. There's a lot of design-related tees out there, but not a lot of motion design ones. So I figured I'd make a few, especially the Keyframes design. And at least I could get one if no one else wants one, haha.
As for the tutorial, you know those cool text animations where letters slide in from all sorts of places? They often look hand-animated rather than text animator driven. Well, I set out about finding a way to make them with text animators.
There's probably a way to do this with Expression Selectors, and I'm going to look into that. But for now, this is a neat way to make a repeatable text animation with individual moves for each character.

Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't get an email about this message for some reason. Yes! They're still up. All the files we've made available are here. Use the search and type in 118. It'll lead you to a post called Files! from September 3, 2021. The files that don't have their own post are all linked on that one posting. I need to make a note somewhere on how to find the files. But yeah, search for the number of the tutorial and it'll come up! Thanks!
