DOT MATRIX SCROLLER

I want to do a dot matrix scroller textured on a regular surface and I want to know if there is some way to make a widget with the scroller and then with a special material apply to a mesh surface to achieve the effect.

The only simple approach I see is just make a long dot matrix texture with the contents and just scroll in the material but that would not be dynamic and I want it make interactive with any text in real time.

There are quite few tutorials online for that. I came upon that just bu searching:

Thanks but I was looking for dot matrix display scroller effect.

Not matrix the movie effect :slight_smile:

Oh! I get it now…

You need the type of retro display dot matrix where you can write text probably (or anything really) and scroll it.

Is that right?

no. Want the dots to be static and the text scrolling :slight_smile:
