Multi Elements Text Fade-in Trick

How to made a multi elements text appear one by one in the right order with one only material, while

keeping text editable.

In the text Texture Space panel:

Disable "Auto Texture Space" check box.

For each text part, add the lenght of the previous parts in Texture Space Location.

part1= 0

part2 = part1 x dimension

part3 = part1 + part2 x dimension

...

X dimensions can be found in the right panel (N)

Cumulate previous parts dimensions in Texture Space Location

This way, the elements UV mapping will be align in x value in the right order.

Then you can animate a gradiant fade in material on it.

Repeat procedural gradient

Just need a separate XYZ node / a math-modulo node / a combineXYZ node between the UV node and the gradient node. You can ajust the number of repeat by using the mapping  X scale value
