I'm a physicist teacher and I'm trying to create a code that modifies a text during the timeline evolution. The idea is make a display that show some information such the position of an object while it is moving. For this, I was thinking in make a code that

  1. get the information about an object (its position, angle between its edges, this things)
  2. create a text showing this information
  3. create a key frame to 'save' the information and them a loop for repeat this process along the movement of the object.

If someone can help me, I really appreciate it.

  • Hello ! AFAIK it's unfortunately not possible to keyframe the body of a text. There are alternatives though, you'll have to use custom callbacks or dynamically hide / show different text objects at runtime – Gorgious Feb 09 '22 at 07:58

if you are fine with using animation nodes (https://animation-nodes.com/#download) which is an amazing add-on, you can use this node setup:

animate your objects position...

and you will get:
