SoftType Description It's Alive! TextOrgan

Menu Image

default

standard true type outline

X equal to "smooth"
clay

glyphs become malleable to the mouse movement

mouse strength
the strength of the mouse pulling on the glyph
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

mouse falloff
the range at which the mouse will begin exerting a pull on the glyph
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

origin strength
the strength with which the glyph will be pulled back towards its original position and shape
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

X  
colorstatic

fills the glyph with pulses of static

radius
the radius of the static pulse centered on the mouse
range:
0 to 1e+006

sine wave oscillation
determines the speed and spacing of the pulses
range:
0 to 1e+006

X X  

disintegrate

target text pixelates into the background in response to mouse movements

mouseOver
range:
-1.0 to 1.0

mouseOutside
range:
-1.0 to 1.0

X X  
drift

text deforms in response to any mouse movement, whether the button is down or not

mouse strength
the strength or amount of pull the mouse has
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

mouse falloff
the distance at which the mouse will stop exerting its strength
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

origin strength
the amount of pull the origina exerts
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

friction
determines the speed and spacing of the pulses
range:
0.0 and 1.0

X X  
erosion

target text pixelates into the background wherever it encounters another text object

mouseOver
range:
-1.0 to 1.0

mouseOutside
range:
-1.0 to 1.0

X X  
lens

target text magnifies in response to the mouse location

magnification
the amount by which the text will be magnified
range: -1e+006 to 1e+006

falloff
the radius of the magnification
range: -1e+006 to 1e+006

X X  
particle

glyph outlines are filled with tiny particles

X X
(this is not a softtype behavior in TextOrgan; see behaviors)
 
pull

the pixels of the glyph are pulled toward the mouse

mouse strength
the strength or amount of pull the mouse has
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

mouse falloff
the distance at which the mouse will stop exerting its strength
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

origin strength
the amount of pull the origina exerts
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

X X  
pulse

glyphs increase and decrease size rhythmically and deform with interaction with the mouse

scale
the amount by which the glyph increases/decreases its size
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

period
the cycle of the scaling
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

distortion factor
the degree to which the glyph outline is distorted by interaction with the mouse
range:
-1e+006 to 1e+006

X X  
trails

fills the glyph with bands of color

radius
the radius of the pulse centered on the mouse
range:
0 to 1e+006

sine wave oscillation
determines the speed and spacing of the pulses
range:
0 to 1e+006

X  
transparent

makes the glyph transparent to the specified degree (note: this is a performance hog.)

transparency
amount of transparency
range: 0 to 1.0

mouseOver
range:
-1.0 to 1.0

mouseOutside
range:
-1.0 to 1.0
