Creating a 3D Text Mesh
Explore how to create 3D text meshes using Three.js by loading fonts and applying extrusion techniques. Understand how to add custom fonts and use the Troika library to generate dynamic 2D text labels. This lesson helps you integrate text elements smoothly into 3D scenes.
Introduction to Troika
In this lesson, we’ll take a quick look at how we can create 3D text. First, we’ll look at how to render text using the fonts provided by Three.js and how we can use our own fonts for this. Then, we’ll show a quick example of using an external library called Troika that makes it really easy to create labels and 2D text elements and add them to our scene.
Rendering text
Rendering text in Three.js is very easy. All we have to do is define the font we want to use and apply the same extrude properties we saw when we discussed THREE.ExtrudeGeometry. The following screenshot shows ...
