Add "Split Text" setting to Text Objects

In order to vastly improve the use of Text objects for Motion Graphics I propose adding a property to Split Text by type (Character, Word or Line). This way you could transform the text object and, according to the chosen type, each part would translate, rotate or scale independently from each other while still being the same object. I imagine their pivot point could be at the center of their bounding box (whether it's split by character, word or line).

And to improve it even further, there could be an offset setting which could be affected by:

  • Time: so the animation has some delay on each character, for example;
  • Relative: so the split text parts keep a fixed distance between each other (similar to the current spacing property, but affecting the Z axis too);
  • Object: so there's an object controlling the distance between parts (similar to the array modifier).

Let me know what you think of it! What would you change or improve?

This would be very useful to be able to automize animated text.
