Text Texture Generator for Blender

Create polished text textures without leaving Blender. This addon drops a dedicated panel into the Shader Editor, 3D Viewport, and Properties sidebar so you can type, preview, and generate textures in a couple of clicks.

What You Can Do

• Convert any text (up to 1024 characters plus optional prepend/append blocks) into a texture at whatever resolution your Blender setup can handle.
• Choose system fonts or load custom .ttf/.otf files, adjust layout (horizontal or vertical), and manage spacing between text blocks.
• Position designs using a 9-point anchor grid, manual percentage/pixel coordinates, offsets, and optional canvas constraints.
• Set transparent or solid backgrounds, fine-tune RGBA colors, and review results instantly in a dedicated preview window.
• Generate final images that are packed automatically into the .blend, ready for saving or immediate node setup.

Pro Edition Extras

• Overlay system. Add any number of text or image overlays with independent scale, rotation, spacing, z-index, and absolute/prepend/append placement. SVG overlays are rasterized automatically with CairoSVG for crisp results.
• Normal maps. Derive normal maps straight from the text alpha channel with strength, blur, and invert controls.
• One-click shaders. Build Principled, Emission, or Transparent materials complete with optional normal-map hookups, light-path controls (disable shadows/reflections/backfaces), and automatic assignment to the active object.
• Preset workflow. Save styles to the current .blend or Blender’s config folder, refresh them, and import/export JSON bundles for backups or team sharing.
• Adaptive fitting. Let the addon resize fonts within a min/max range to keep text safely within your canvas margins.

Typical Uses

• Labels, packaging copy, and compliance text for product visualization.
• Signage, decals, and UI panels for games, XR experiences, and virtual production.
• Motion graphics titles and lower thirds built directly inside Blender.
