This modifier has no controls.
Follower
The Follower modifier allows sequencing text animations. The modifier is applied by right-
clicking in the Styled Text field of a Text+ node and selecting Follower. In the Modifiers tab, you
start by animating the parameters of the text (note that changing any parameter in the Modifiers
tab will not be visible unless a keyframe is added.) Then, in the Timing tab you set the
animation’s delay between characters.

Timing Tab
Once the text is animated using the controls in the Modifiers tab, the Timing tab is used to
choose the direction and offset of the animation.
Range
The Range menu is used to select whether all characters should be influenced or only a
selected range. To set the range, you can drag-select over the characters directly in the viewer.
Order
The Order menu determines in which direction the characters are influenced. Notice that empty
spaces are counted as characters as well. Available options include:
 Left to right: The animation ripples from left to right through all characters.
 Right to left: The animation ripples from right to left through all characters.
 Inside out: The animation ripples symmetrically from the center point of the characters
toward the margin.
 Outside in: The animation ripples symmetrically from the margin toward the center
point of the characters.
 Random but one by one: The animation is applied to randomly selected characters but
only influences one character at a time.
 Completely random: The animation is applied to randomly selected characters,
influencing multiple characters at a time.
 Manual curve: The affected characters can be specified by sliders.
