Hi! i would want to make some scanline and glow effects for a 2D TextLabel. is this possible in any way?
So far i’ve tried using UIGradient, but it doesn’t really work. the maximum amount of points on the gradient graph is, i believe, around 15, which isn’t nearly enough to create convincing scanlines.
this is what i currently get:
what i’m trying to achieve is something much closer to this:
where you can clearly see the subtle horizontal scanlines running through the text.
i also tried putting a repeating scanline texture over the text using ClipDescendants, but that only clips the texture to the TextLabel’s bounding box rather than to the actual glyphs, so the scanlines appear over the empty space too instead of only inside the text.
I did also think about building a custom text renderer as a last resort. it should be doable with my current skillset if there really isn’t any workaround for this, although i’d obviously prefer to avoid going that route if there’s a simpler solution.
