Let's see how we can create 3D vector text that looks crisp and clear. The general process of creating and displaying 3D text looks as follows:
1. Create material with
Letter3DMaterial.2. Create a
Font3Dinstance.3. Create a
Text3Dinstance, passing the text, font, and material to it, and add it to the scene or to another do3D.
We will create an example that demonstrates several features of Text3D:
Multiline
Alignment
Outlines
All the following code should be added inside the init() method. Before we instantiate the classes that we need in order to display 3D text, we assign a text string to a local variable.
var text:String = "Multiline 3D text\nwith letter spacing,\nline spacing,\nand alignment ;-)";
Now, let's create a text material, font, and text. First we instantiate Letter3DMaterial, which resides in the org.papervision3d.materials.special package:
material = new Letter3DMaterial(0x000000);
The constructor of this class takes two optional parameters:
