2D Text in 3D Space

by Necrode · in Torque 3D Professional · 12/15/2009 (11:31 pm) · 4 replies

Hello,

I am looking for a way to put 2D text in 3D space. This can be done easily through rendered pngs with transparency, but what about dynamic text? Can a Gui be positioned in 3D space?
Suggestions?
Thanks!

    There was a resource for integrating GUIs into textures, which should get you 90% of the way there (the other 10% would be porting to T3D).
