SlidingDoorMaterial

SlidingDoorMaterial cuts the text into panes and slides them, one after another, out of their frames and back. Each pane waits for the one before it to get a little way along before it moves, so the copies seem to drag each other. The word splits, reorganises itself, and does it again.

Construction #

SlidingDoorMaterial extends Material, so everything on a material, from uniforms to update(), works here too. Construct it with no arguments and set uniforms afterwards.

import { SlidingDoorMaterial } from "blotter.ts/materials";

const material = new SlidingDoorMaterial();
material.uniforms.uDivisions.value = 5;

Uniforms #

Each entry in material.uniforms is a live UniformInterface: assign to its value and the running effect changes. Set a value through a text’s render scope to change that text alone.
