Really nice. So simple and yet there is no way i would of found out this on my own. I really regret that nodes are so obscure for beginners like me. I know my way around blender all right; but nodes !

I am going to have fun baking audio to curves with these new animation nodes, so much more control, the dev team have been working hard...

Great video! Please do more tutorials with the animation nodes. A realy powerful tool for Blender.

Thank you, But what about deleting and typing again, is that possible to do?

Thanks for the tutorial. It works well for 1 line of text. However, I am not able to have a second line to animate after the first line and so on for the rest of the text. I tried a "delay" node, but I could not get it to work for me.

Thanks!

Thank you for the tutorial.
There are three questions.
1. How can I start the animation without the first character?
2. How to slow down the effect?
3. How to add some cool ;-) typing sound?

It would be great, if you can answer.

How to make text start at for example at frame 10? Seems that I can only get it started at frame 0 only!

Either the Animation addon has been removed (the one with a Triangle next to it)... or I need to download it from somewhere?

Or do I need to turn on some kind of "advanced settings" function just to see it... as some programs are like to do.

How do we make the text go down more than one line automatically? I have a few lines of text. Do I have to do a separate animation for each line or can I do it automatically?

Hi guys, is there a way around to slow down the text apart of key framing? thanks for any information.

Can you do 2 separate texts such as Pixar Studios? So that they can be in 2 different spots and 2 different font sizes
