Tip Of The Day #055

Using the text effect on groups of say matrices or trees will rarely give you what you expected.

The reason this happens is because when the render buffer is created for a group we look at your positioning of your model on the screen and overlay a matrix … this doesn’t generate the same tight matrix buffer layout that a matrix or tree normally does.

So what can you do if you want to run text across several models …

1. Create a custom model which shadows your models. These will be big and slow but it will work.
2. Try using the “Horizontal Per Model/Strand” or “Vertical Per Model/Strand” buffer styles
