scale Card3D by the number of character in text node

[Anonymous]

I’m trying to have a Card3D node fit the width of a text node that will be dynamic. For example, the frame number needs to be rendered over a black background box so it is legible over both bright and dark footage. I don’t want to just make a large background box. I’d rather it be dynamic and fit snuggly.

Is there a way to return the number of characters in a text nodes message, and use that value to scale a Card3D?

best,
-Chris
