[HELP] can't find Text to Mesh node

[chiboreache]

can't find Text to Mesh node, please halp!

[zeffii]

there is a Typography Viewer node, which should output Blender Curve/Font objects into the Blender scene.

but it seems a little broken at the moment.. (fixed here e845339 )

[zeffii]

well, it's not completely broken . you do have to set the Font type manually at the moment, ( this setting is in the N-panel, inside the Node tab, properties -> Font (at the bottom).

The situation is

• input text
• pass it to Typography Viewer (TV node above)
• convert from proper Curve/Font object to mesh using Get Objects Data, this outputs Verts / Edges / Faces ..etc.

I added the Objects output socket to Typography Viewer just a few minutes ago, you will need to update Sverchok to get the updated Node. If you already have a Typography Viewer node in the scene you can delete it and add it back.

oh wow, got it, thanks!

what about Text SVG node? how to convert it to mesh

[zeffii]

TextSVG is a different matter. SVG describes a markup (xml) document, which tells the document viewer ( viewers are Inkscape, Illustrator, your browser.. any program that opens an SVG) to render Text of a given typeface at size etc. The SVG document contains no information about the Glyphs, so can not arbitrarily return Mesh from SVG (like Typography viewer can).

understood, thanks again
