Blender Geometry Nodes - Create This STUNNING Text Animation

In this Blender geometry nodes tutorial, learn how to make an incredible 3D text animation that reveals its letters over time. This Blender tutorial is packed with awesome lessons, and you'll learn how to:
* Work with text in geometry nodes
* Manipulate spline factors
* Use Repeat Zone
* Create and adjust materials
* Drive a procedural animation and adjust its timing
* Render the final animation

This is a must-see motion graphics tutorial to take your geometry node skills to the next level!

So it's not a bug, it's just a missing feature! Blender's Trim Curve documentation does have a warning that cyclic splines are not currently supported. Which tells me that at some point when they are supported, we won't need the work around in the video to disable the Trim Curve at the end of the animation duration. 🎉

Also, I later discovered that you CAN use the Sample Curve node to get unique positions for all points. I misinterpreted the documentation. The fact that it inputs and outputs fields should have been my clue. If you connect the Index field to the Sample Curve's Curve Index input, the Position output field will give you the factor's position for every spline in the Curve geometry input. No need for the Repeat Zone. You can use Domain Size to get the count of splines, use a Points node with that count, then plug the Sample Curve's Position field output into the Points node to set their positions.

Great stuff man! This could be useful for logo animations as well :)

Great work. I have a question: how can we use this method but presenting each letter after each other (like in your typing video)?

Is there a reason for using colour ramp to drive the orb size, rather than a float curve? I guess it demonstrates another approach, but I always find that float curves are more intuitive.

HI..awesome tutorial BTW . just a small doubt How to I Delay the Animation? like How can i make the animation Start after a Few Frames?
