SolariText
Developer: NickolasM
Generates animated 3D split-flap boards and airport-style flipboard walls from text layers in After Effects.
What SolariText does
SolariText by NickolasM turns a selected text layer into an animated 3D split-flap display, the clacking board seen in old airports and train stations. Version 3.0 added a fixed-rig engine, wall grid mode and baked render copies.
Wall mode builds display walls, with optional empty filler cards. Animation can start simultaneously, sequentially or randomly, with seed and lock seed controls for repeatable patterns. Fast Preview mode and a full 3D workflow let cameras, lights and shadows interact. A baked copy keeps the editable setup intact, and the fixed rig makes boards lighter and more scalable.
