Text 3D
The Text3D Component
lets you convert any text into a 3D object in Lens Studio.
To learn more about how to use the Text3D component in Lens Studio, check out the 3D Text Template.
Creating the Text3D Component
To create the Text3D
component. Go to Scene Hierarchy > +
, and type Text3D.
A Text3D
object will be added to the scene. You can move this object around like any other 3D object in lens studio.
The Text3D Component
Enter any text in the Text field on the Text3D
component to change the 3D text.
We can also set custom layout, font, alignment and overflow type for the 3D text. These settings work the exact same way as the regular Text component.
3D Text Extrusion
The Text3D
component has built-in extrusion settings, try changing the extrusion settings to alter the shape of your text.
3D Text Material
When each Text3D
component is created, a Text3D Default Material
will be created. You can double-click on the material to check out its graph in the Material Editor. There are 4 dedicated sections on this material corresponding to the sides of the generated 3D text: Front, Back, Out and Inner edge.
Each of the section has color and render settings correlating to the section of the text. Edit these to create vibrant effects for your custom 3d text in Lens Studio!
Enable Editing
To enable editing of the text via the keyboard, check the Editable
field of the component. An interaction component will automatically be added to the Scene Object and is the default interaction component for detecting touches to open the keyboard.
To override this interaction component, use the Touch Override input of the component.
The Show Preview input controls whether the keyboard will show a preview of the text that is being typed.
