How can I achieve a similar text shine/sheen effect to this:

but in Essential? Without using image sequences? I'd use masks but afaik they're pro only...
Thanks so much!

I just realized I forgot to specify I can't use sequences, coder said he can't use them so gotta do everything without sequences xD;Erikari писал(а):You can upload an image sequence to place on top of the text and change the blending mode to additive.
You can also use a blurred blob of light image, and scale it while translating it, although it would be less precise, it would make a nice blooming effect.
In addition to this you can also play with the color and transparency of the letters, and perhaps combine all the tree things into one
Btw clipping has limitations, you can only use one mask per skeleton at the same time, plus the edges would be very sharp, so don't worry you're not missing much in this case!

Erm...image swapping?Erikari писал(а):Coder may have said that, probably assuming you wanted to use spritesheets, but what about image swapping? can't you swap images on and off? Of course you shouldn't abuse this and reuse the same images as much as possible, but this is just a little suggestion you may have not considered yet :>
