Nutcracker 3.0.11 released. Text can now be rotated

[smeighan]

With this release you can rotate the text.

Two new sliders have been added.

Top Slider. This has always been three and allows you to adjust text in a vertical direction
Left Slide. *NEW* It will adjust text left and right. You can use this when doing up or down text that has been rotated.

Direction: up,down,left,right. none. This slider has always been here
Rotation Degrees: *NEW* . This slider selects text rotation of 0,90,180,270



Some known bugs:
When you have text going up/down and is rotated the text is not scrolling long enough (in my opinion), i will fix this.

Awesome job Sean! Is there any way to rotate the letters so they are not sideways?

I can't keep up with all this updating, but keep the process going.  I love it.  I have not even had time to install and play with 3.08 yet.

0 deegrees is no rotation
90 degrees is roate 90 to the left
180 rotates text so it is upside down
270 degrees rotates text to the left 3/4 of the way around a circle.

so if i understand the question, just set rotation to the first setting. this is the way the text has always been

BTW, there would be a way to rotate text thinks like 62 degrees and have it slant across the rgb device. ill hold that off for later in the year

thanks

sean i know its just me but id like to be able to have colored backrounds with text

That is available now.

Put text into effect 1 and colorwash into effect 2
now select that you want to average the two effects

It will look like this



thanks

He might be asking about rotating the letters and not just the phrase
