Press enter when you're done.Īll we have to do now is to change some basic realtime settings in the same Realtime buttons window. Rename the property from 'prop' to 'Text' (capitalization matters make sure that you don't type 'text' or 'TEXT', blender specifically looks for the property named 'Text') and set the value to the string that you want to be printed. Change the property from Float to String. Click once on 'ADD property' to add a property. Switch to the 'Realtime buttons' by pressing. Now we're going to define what text is printed. Try it and see the two different drawing modes you can use, but make sure you don't change the other buttons. Instead of choosing 'Alpha' you could select the 'Add' button. This button activates the Text drawing routine. Right above it you'll find the 'Text' button. In the Paint buttons select the 'Alpha' button. This activates the Paint buttons at the bottom of the blender window. Repeat the process until you're satisfied.īelow the 3D window there are two different paintbrush icons. Select 'Rot UV' from the menu to rotate the image by 90 degrees. Move your mouse pointer to the 3D view and press (rotate). The in the 3D view is probably not rotated correctly.
You can move the image in the Image window by using your middle mouse button. Ideally there's one black pixel between the dotted outline and the sides of the If you are not satisfied, use grab and scale again to correct the outline.įor more accurate control you can zoom in and out in the Image window by using the and on your numeric keypad. When it's over the top left click with your left mouse button or press space bar. Press (grab) with your mouse pointer in the Image window and move the dotted square using your mouse. If it is about the size of the click with the left mouse button, or press the space bar.įinally we're going to move the outline so it surrounds the top left in the bitmap window. You now see that the outline is scaled down. Press (scale) with your mouse pointer in the Image window and move your cursor towards the center of the bitmap image. Next we're going to scale the dotted outline down. The four pink vertices at the corner of the image now should all become yellow, indicating that they are selected. First make sure that the vertices are selected by moving your mouse pointer to the Image window and pressing (all). We can achieve this by scaling and translating the vertices in the Image window. We need to set it up so that the plane shows only a single character: the in the top left corner from the bitmap. This is not yet the correct setting for using bitmap fonts. The plane in the 3D view should now change and become a small representation from the arialbd image. Select it and choose one of the bitmaps you saved before. At the bottom of the Image window you'll find a Load button. Now move your cursor to the Ipo window, the large window on the right, and press to change it into an Image window. The plane becomes pink to indicate that it has no texture applied to it.
Press (z-buffered + textured drawing) to activate Texture mode. Press (face select) to activate face selecting mode. We are now going to connect the plane in the 3D view to a bitmap font. Use the Screen menu in the top left (press the small white bar, next to the Tools menu) and switch from 'screen.001' to 'screen'. Next we're going to switch to a different screen layout. (If you don't have a plane in the center add one by pressing:, and selecting If you haven't changed your default settings you now have a 3D view with a plane in the center. You'll have to get one of the files from this directory later on. This textures subdirectory is created in the same directory where you stored the demo2.04.blend file. This creates a subdirectory named textures which contains three Targa bitmaps. You can unpack them by selecting 'Unpack Data to current dir' from the Tools menu (top left).
