Revealing Letters in Maya

[dsabolch]

Hi everyone! I'm currently working on a project for a client and I've found myself stuck.

My question is: how can I reveal letters in Maya? Similar to masking/unmasking an object in After Effects.

What's the most efficient way to go about this? Any tips or tricks?

Thank you!

You dont specify if your letters are geometry or an image. If they're an image look into using the stencil node.
