hi everyone :-)

i have seen some posts here and on odforce about creating a typewriter effect in Houdini.

personally i was looking for an interactive typewriter where you could record the typing process into CHOPs for animation and timeline playback.

i ended up needing to create my own file.

i used my trusty H13 but the file also works in H18.5 .

i will upload the file later so that people get a chance to view my process. i tried several different approaches beforehand which did not work accurately before i settled on using the strcmp() expression.

here is the YouTube link to the video of the file ..

peace,

ok, i just got feedback from the web browser that my file is too big to upload to this post... so just go to the youtube link and download the file from the description.
