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.
