What problem does it solve?

Native TouchDesigner text layout is difficult when text must flow around obstacles; this skill provides a complete native pipeline with obstacle avoidance and atlas-generated glyphs to ensure smooth, performant text rendering.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Text flows around obstacles: circles, silhouettes, or arbitrary shapes
  • Character-level, 60fps layout: per-character layout with atlas metrics
  • GPU-instanced rendering with atlas: using GLSL MAT
  • Pretext.js patterns ported to TD native: porting Pretext.js to pure TD
  • Text measurement utilities: evalTextSize, PIL

Quick Start

Load the TD Pretext skill in your project and run the provided sample to render obstacle-avoiding, atlas-based text in TouchDesigner.
