Text on a model
- by alecnash
I am trying to put some text on a Model and I want it to be dynamic. Did some research and came up with drawing the text on the texture and then set it on the model. I use something like this:
public static Texture2D SpriteFontTextToTexture(SpriteFont font, string text, Color backgroundColor, Color textColor)
{
Size = font.MeasureString(text);
RenderTarget2D renderTarget = new RenderTarget2D(GraphicsDevice, (int)Size.X, (int)Size.Y);
GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(renderTarget);
GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Transparent);
Spritbatch.Begin();
//have to redo the ColorTexture
Spritbatch.Draw(ColorTexture.Create(GraphicsDevice, 1024, 1024, backgroundColor), Vector2.Zero, Color.White);
Spritbatch.DrawString(font, text, Vector2.Zero, textColor);
Spritbatch.End();
GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(null);
return renderTarget;
}
When I was working with primitives and not models everything worked fine because I set the texture exactly where I wanted but with the model (RoundedRect 3D button). It now looks like that:
Is there a way to have the text centered only on one side?
