For those that can't afford to support Acrylicode's Patreon right now and want to follow along at 06:00 1) Create a Text DAT 2) Press A (or the star symbol in the lower right corner) 3) Write $ and your desired text after (e.g. $Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet) - Be sure your text doesn't contain another $ symbol. If it does, choose another symbol to write at the beginning (e.g. %Lorem ipsum dolor $it amet) 4) Press A again (or the star symbol in the lower right corner) 5) Connect the Text DAT to a Substitute DAT 6) Drag and drop your Text DAT to the "before" and "after" box parameters of the Substitute DAT - It will appear a blue text "op('text1')" inside the boxes 7) On the before parameter write: op('text1').text 8) On the after parameter write: op('text1').text.replace("","\t")[1:-1] 9) Connect the Substitute DAT to a Convert DAT 10) Connect the Convert DAT to a Transpose DAT 11) Connect the Transpose DAT to another Substitute DAT 12) On the before parameter write: $ - If you used another symbol at the step 3, write it instead (e.g. %) 13) On the after parameter write: text 14) Connect the second Substitute DAT to the Null DAT created before (null1) - You can middle-click the Null DAT to see how many rows it has * When you create the Constant CHOP, at 06:42, instead of 1000, write: op('null1').numRows - 1

[@markus_knoedel]

And again. I learned something new. This textgeo looks very promising. Thank you.

[@acrylicode]

Glad to hear it!

Amazing tutorial as always! I really appreciate your aesthetic choices and explanations. Since most people watching TouchDesigner tutorials on YT are beginners, I wrote a little guide to create a text table in TD. So, if they can't afford to support you right now, they can still follow along. I hope you don't mind!

Of course we don’t mind! Love a supporting community, thank you so much for contributing! ❤️

Hi, your tutorial is really helpful! I would like to know if it's possible to change the font color for each letter through dat or geo text or whatever
