Same size text

[damon]

Hi,

I want to create a 3d/ 2d interface animation and have text staying the same size.

Is there a tool or a way in Max to have an object maintain a constant size relative to the camera.

i.e as the camera moves closer to some text it scales giving the illusion it is the same size.

Thanks

for animation a scale script controller using the following should work for you

zoom = 1
refsArray = (refs.dependents this)
for i in refsArray where isvalidnode i do 
(
    zoom = (getScreenScaleFactor i.pos) * 0.005
)
[zoom ,zoom ,zoom ]

though if you want some kind of HUD effect your probably best linking the text to the camera
