This tool converts any text into fully editable splines. :
- Font and size are controlled via your operating system's text dialogue.
- There are tools for translating the text into a → "DSpline" daemon, a Dyverso → "Spline" emitter", or a standard → "ESpline" particle emitter.
- Workflow descriptions for importing and editing splines can be found under → “Quick Start Workflows - Drawing and Editing Splines”.
Text
Here you enter or copy/paste the text you want to convert.
Font
Opens your operating system's font dialogue. Choose a font, apply a size, and confirm. The appropriate font will be displayed in the “Text” field.
File
Here, the path to the external SCG SVG is displayed.
…
This button opens a file browser where you can load a SVG file.
Center at origin
The spline's original position will be neglected and the node is placed at [0, 0, 0].
Pivot at center
When active RealFlow will recalculate the spline's pivot.
Parent to Null
Creates a null object and adds it to the spline's → “Parent to” field. If the null is animated the spline will follow its motions.
Group
If the SVG contains more than one spline it is a good idea to group them.
Combine
This option is used to connect multiple splines. When enabled RealFlow creates connections between the individual splines.
Plane
Choose the spline's 2D orientation: “XY”, “YZ”, or “XZ”.
Scale
Change the spline's size – the value acts as a multiplier.
Stroke
This option creates an outline version of the text. The outline's distance from the text is controlled with “Stroke width”.
Stroke width
The outline's distance from the text is controlled with this parameter and given in metres.
