…Animating type with MoText is a heck of a lot of fun, but there are some steps you…need to go through to actually get your text prepared for animation and…that's what we're going to focus on in this video.…To get started I'm going to up under the MoGraph menu and choose MoText.…Now, once you have your MoText object placed in the scene, let's go ahead and…orbit around, and pan over just so it's a little more easy to see.…Now let's make our Attributes panel significantly larger and…make sure you're in the Objects section of the Attributes panel.…
Once you're in the Object channel, let's go ahead and…add some text into our project.…In the text field, I'm going to type three lines of text.…Let's type BIg PiXel TExT.…Now, it can be a mix between small and large letters.…You can use your arrow keys to navigate through all the different parts of…the text.…Now, once I go ahead and have this set up the way I like,…I'm just going to click outside of the text box and that'll set the text.…By default there's always a ton of space in between the lines with this font…
