Found a workaround...instead of trying with scene nodes i now paste the whole list in a text object and use Effectors on the Lines field tab there.

Help! The names just came in ... 500 people... Anyone??

Hm maybe with cloth? You can adhere certain parts of the cloth to solid objects. Just an idea...

Hi,

i've got several wordclouds with hundereds of names to animate. Instead of copying every name to a text-object in cinema i would like to import the names via spreadsheet.

I found a great example with the "import data" node in the Scene Node system. Seems to work, but i am a t a loss as how to influence the generated Text objects with effectors and fields. I would like the text objects to behave like clones that i can wrangle around with mograph effectors, but they dont show up in the object manger at all. All my tries to add different nodes wont work as i wish. Can someone point me in the right direction? Here's the example file and my edited file.

Thanks for any help!
