This plugin gives you the capability of creating real time 3D text.Please read the included README for more information.The Latest Update now exposes the emission property and normalizes the text size so that the default letters now match up more closely to a unit. It should also now be compatible with GLES 2.

Godot-3D-text-plugin

Hello! This is an addon built for Godot 3.2.x that adds 3D labels to your arsenal of nodes. It's just like a regular label, but in 3D! The addon simply adds a new node called Label3D that you can add anywhere in your 3D environment. It comes with the following parameters.

  • Text: Pretty obvious. :P This is the text the label will display.
  • Text Size: The size of the label. There's another property that determines the label's size.
  • Font: The kind of font the label will use. The font's size is what also affects the label's size.
  • Align: The alignment of the text.
  • Color: The color of the label.
  • Metallic: The metalness of the label.
  • Roughness: The roughness of the label.
  • Emission Color: The color the label emits.
  • Emission Strength: How strongly the label emits light.

These last two parameters are only useful while the text is extruded.

  • Extrude: The thickness of the label. It gets rendered using a ray tracing illusion. More on that later.
  • Max Steps: How many steps the ray tracer takes before it just gives up. More steps, slower rendering. Less steps, more susceptible to cutoff of the extrusion rendering.
  • Step Size: How far apart each step the rays in the ray tracer takes. Larger step size, more aliasing artifacts.

The disadvantage of using a ray tracer to render the extrusion is that it doesn't play well with lighting and shadows. If thats a bother to you, there is an option to convert the Label3D into a MeshInstance. :D Just select your label, and a button will appear in the viewport's menubar. just click, and your all good. Just be wary that the larger your label's font is, the longer it will take to convert.
