Use the FX DOTS SIZE prop to set the size of the dots.

Notice how the dots follow the edges.

Set the FX SHAPE prop to 1 for a more angular look.

Use the FX 3D DOTS prop to give the dots a 3D look.

The effect can be applied to all layer types, including model layers!

When the 2nd texture is provided (in the MEDIA > CHANGE TEXTURE... dialog), it is used to colour the dots.

Thanks Michiel! This effect, which might look “simple” at first glance, actually allows you to customize the font in so many ways — it’s amazing!! A huge thank you 😘

You are fast Franco. Nice variations!

Realize that all the FX props can be animated. And with the VJ dialog when you want to make them loop automatically.

The MIDI option in the VJ dialog can be used to make the dots dance in sync with your live performance. With a keyboard, or by connecting a pitch 2 MIDI converter to your microtonal guitar/bass double-neck!

Beautiful Michiel, thank you!

One question (or request?). Can the dots be made transparent? I was thinking about it looking at PolkaDots10_Plane.bt, and wondering if the plane could be made see through.

Regardless, thanks again for such an amazing program with many new features all the time!

Thank you all!

Amiga, would an FX TRANSPARENCY prop where you can set the transparency of the background with the 1st slider and the transparency of the dots with the 2nd slider help your project?

That would be perfect! Thanks Michiel!

But to be clear, I just play around with BT, and get joy just seeing what it can do.
