Someone on the IndyMogul video production forum was after this particular effect for some video titles. Just for the heck of it, I wanted to see if I could create the effect using only open source software.
I made the text in Inkscape, then dropped a rectangle in behind the text. Converted the text to a path and used the path to cut the text shape out of the rectangle. Saved the .svg.
The .svg was then imported into Blender and extruded very slightly, the material was set to dead black. A haloed spotlight was then animated behind the text and aimed toward the camera.
The resulting frames of animation were then imported into Gimp and made into an animated .gif file with GAP (Gimp Animation Package)
Below is the result. 1 meg .gif file.
How big is the file if in mng format?
