Writing on a chalkboard....
This is a pretty good example of the question I am asking:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9420048�
To add, my goal is to get some text to appear as handwriting being written onto a chalkboard. The Alpha blend mode is a nice halfway solution, but obviously it doesn't really look like the font is being written by hand. I am assuming that the only way to efficiently get this effect in Motion is with a Wacom tablet? Do these tablets do a good job for this sort of thing? -- I've never used one. I read the manual, but there isn't anyway to convert the text to paths similar to Adobe Illustrator so that you could just apply a write-on behavior to each path is there?
Just looking for ideas here before I spend hours trying several different way to create this effect as closely as possible to how I want it. Thanks in advance for any help.
