Wordpath

No replies yet

  1. Having recently made a charpath node, and seeing how useful that was, it occurred to me that a wordpath node might be even better!

    So here it is: wordpath.

    Like charpath, wordpath is dirt simple. Its input parameters are identical to textpath, but instead of outputting a single path, it outputs a separate path for each word in the text. This allows you to color the words independently, or play with them in any number of ways. You can still use the width setting to control line breaks, or use my line_break node. The words land just as they would with textpath.

    The demo shows a haiku by Basho, colored and tossed up into the air.

    Enjoy!

    UPDATE - I just noticed that, in the demo, the node is named word_path instead of wordpath. It should be wordpath to be consistent with textpath and charpath. It will be named correctly in the next release of my library.
