Multiple underlays in text mesh pro
I'm trying to create a kind of "chromatic aberration" text using TextMeshPro. Basically, three different pure colour underlays offset differently. This is easy to achieve with regular text using the Shadow component, but for TextMeshPro I can only have one underlay and then I have to resort to using a second TextMesh.
Is there a way I can achieve this effect in a less finicky way?

You need to use multiple TextMeshPro objects. To do so:
1. Duplicate your text object
2. Create a material for the duplicate and set the Face Color's alpha level to zero, that way you'll only see the underlay of the 2nd text.
3. Position it where you want
