Hi All! I need another suggestion. I need to take a string of text, slice it into little vertical pieces, then slide each vertical strip in horizontally from the right. I have done this with the string, one letter at a time and the effect is cool. But the client wants the letters sliced vertically so that instead of a, say, 30 character string, there are 100 little skinny strips. Is there an easy way to do this? I thought of booleaning the whole thing, but that would be extremely tedious. As you can imagine, this is a low budget titles effect. Oh yea, it also has to be rendered in 4Kx3K for film. Does anyone know if, at that high res, is anti-aliasing really necessary? It would obviously be much faster to render without anti-aliasing. Thanks for any input. One other thing, is this what the new SLICE IPAS is for? If so, I'll order it right away!
