Kinetic Typography With Instancing – TouchDesigner Tutorial 49

Beginners
1

Hi,
I’m following this turorial, (i’m on mac he’s on PC)
but since the beginning, at 3’19,

i have a ramp problem, i don’t get the squares i’m supposed to by using the vertical ramp (2nd one ),
so i make it another way: outputting Atop on the 2nd ramp instead of multiply
but changing constant 1 Alpha should make a Z scale movement where i got a different thing, it’s Z moving but not linear, high Xz is comming 1st and low Xz after
see my patch.
mouvement letters2.2.toe (9.2 KB)

then at 17’23 i don’t have the same result

thanks a lot for your help
Regards, Ben ( who already did the tuto twice carefully

he’s mentionning at the beginning of the tuto, that on mac we shouldn’t patch geo into instance texture but through texture coordinate ( in another tutorial called instancing on mac os )
don’t know if this ramp issue is related to plateform differences,
or even if it is still required regarding the actual updates of TD… since tutorial has more than 1 year…
@jacqueshoepffner any hint?
thanks for your help
