The Text+ node
Text+ Node Introduction
Fusion’s Text+ node is an advanced character generator capable of multiple styles, 3D
transformations, and several layers of shading. Text can be laid out to a user-defined frame,
circle, or along a path.
Any TrueType or PostScript 1 font installed on the computer can be used to create text. Support
for multibyte and Unicode characters allows text generation in any language, including right to
left and vertically oriented text.
This node generates a 2D image. To produce extruded 3D text with optional beveling, see the
Text 3D node.
Inputs
The one input on the Text+ node is for an effect mask to crop the text.
Effect Mask: The optional blue effect mask input accepts a mask shape created
by polylines, basic primitive shapes, paint strokes, or bitmaps from other tools.
Connecting a mask to this input limits the text to only those pixels within the mask.
Basic Node Setup
The Text+ node can be combined with many other nodes to create motion graphics. Below it is
connected as the foreground of a Merge node.
