I’m working with a Point Cloud (TOP) and a Geo COMP. I need to instance a different letter provided by a list or a text on each point using a custom font.
What is the most efficient workflow to assign unique letters from a to these instances? I’m looking for a solution that handles custom fonts.
Thanks!
Here’s a file from a workshop a long time ago. This was before TOP instancing, so you can swap out the position from a CHOP in this file to your positions from Point Cloud TOP. Loading letters onto instances using the w-coordinate texture offset works the same so you can grok this network for that.

I adapted it to render text inside area defined by TOP mask in a way, that text goes in a reading order. It’s rather quick and dirty version, something is wrong with sorting and rotations, but maybe it will be useful for someone
