Text SOP Level of detail not working on Mac

Bugs

Hi guys,

Well, everything is in the title. Le level of detail of the text SOP works fine on windows(last built, GeForce GTX1660Ti), but on my mac (OS 10.15.7, TD built 2020.27390, Intel Iris graphic chipset), it has no effect at all…
Furthermore, with default settings, text has 277 points on my mac when it has 1280 on my PC al level of detail 1…
Any idea of what’s happening there ?

Thanks

I have the same problem. Is there any solution?

Likely due to how text is created on macOS vs Windows, but we’ll research why and get back to you.

Sorry, we didn’t reply earlier. macOS doesn’t offer the same features Windows does for creating geometry out of fonts, so for now we do not have a solution. We would have to rewrite the Text SOP which isn’t high on our list right now just for Level of Detail support.
