  1. Random text effect

    December 4th, 2009

    A QCtextsource for VDMX that wipes the text on and off the screen with random letters and symbols.

    Inspired by COD:Modern Warfare 2 and Alx Toneburst.

    Controls for duration, font size and font selection.

    As Hiltmeyer noted correctly in a comment elsewhere on this site, the spacing on the letters can be off a little bit. This has to do with the way QC breaks up the string into individual letters. I’m still looking into this, but in the meanwhile it works fine for ‘fixed-width’ fonts such as Courier, Andale Mono, Monaco and my personal tech favourite OCRA.

  2. 3D text source for VDMX

    September 7th, 2009

    This is a qcTextSource (place in qcTextSources folder) that applies the old After Effects trick of using lotsa copies of a layer on the z-axis to make it appear 3D.

    Detailed Info:
    Controls for:
    Text input
    Text color
    Font
    Font size
    Depth (high values might slow down your machine)
    X/Y controller for X/Y axis rotation
