Text

The Text plugin provides 2D and 3D text generation from TTF fonts by converting font outlines into Brep geometry suitable for real-time rendering. It supports parent-child hierarchies, allowing multiple Text instances to share a single loaded font. Text geometry can be generated as either Brep or ObjectBrep objects. The plugin also supports Xml based serialization for saving and restoring text configurations.
