glow and animated neon effect

Sample Video: (Youtube)

Solution

Glowing:

For the glowing effect i use the WorldEnvironment (on "Main.tscn")

see:

• "\environment\Glow_1920.tres"

properties: (a few important settings)

• "Background.Mode=Canvas"
• "Glow.Enabled=True"
• "Blend Mode.Screen"

Animation:

For blinking animation i used the AnimationPlayer and manipulate the CanvasItem.Modulate.a (Alpha) of the current node

see:

• "\animation..."

Simple use:

I have created a text animation node that allows you to easily use neon-effect labels that are animated

see:

• "\scene\TextAnimation.gd"
• "\scene\TextAnimation.gd"

properties:

• "Text"
• "Custom Font"
• "Text Color"
• "Animation Name"
• "Animation Speed"

How to use: (Youtube)

Sample

• start "\scene_sample\Main.tscn"
• use "SPACE"-key to load the next sample scene
• use "ESC"-key to exit
