three-spritetext

NPM package Build Size NPM Downloads

A sprite based text component for ThreeJS. The text is drawn to canvas, converted into a Texture and then used as a material on a Sprite. Because a sprite is being used, the text will always face the camera, and has its orientation fixed relative to the camera.

Quick start

import SpriteText from 'three-spritetext';

or using a script tag

<script src="//unpkg.com/three-spritetext"></script>

then

const myText = new SpriteText('My text');

const myScene = new THREE.Scene();
myScene.add(myText);
