VirtualKitten Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone I have been trying to figure this out http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/XyzzyText has been around for ever and was replaced by FURWARE text v2.0.1 which I have both none will place text on a mesh face or series of faces as far as I have tried the best was to create an 8x1 mesh which i made and can get no further . Is there a way to put text on mesh as currently the only option I have found is a non mod version on Market place costing 1000L which seems to be not for real there is another LLS(LED/LCD/Sprite) Text v1.0.0 (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/LLSLEDLCDSprite-Mesh-Text-Display-For-Developer-Use-Only/7245285) which seems to have a funny mesh with two faces the same adjacent repeated to make 16 faces 8 x2. This is only shrinkable to 0.96000m which is to big however it does work on fairly well until you get to smaller sizes by unlinking the set but the font gets too compressed and cant be read well . I am quite impressed with Lucia Lumiere's work on this but there is no way to map the text on to several objects or move the text through the screen .It just reads from the description box i really could not expect more for the price . but as XyzzyText seems a massive improvement has anyone done this with MESH and how have you got around the naming conventions for the lines . Do you need a mesh per link with name on each or can a mesh readout be created in one blender mesh say 16 x 16 for example. or a long single mesh of 2x faces. I am left with this https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/5-face-Letter-prim-Easiest-way-to-add-word-panels-to-your-product/1620117 is his a prim based product to or is there any better resources to read or how-to or marketplace bits for developers, Thanks for looking Edited January 6, 2021 by VirtualKitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT Kingsley Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) FURWARE has a thing called Display Creator which rezzes a number of properly aligned (and named to work with the FURWARE script) mesh objects with up to eight faces each to make a display that you specify using a menu (faces per object, rows and columns of those objects). Is that what you're looking for? Edited January 6, 2021 by KT Kingsley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualKitten Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I tried making my own mesh in a curve in blender as I wanted with two faces the same so that I could try and use LLS(LED/LCD/Sprite) Text v1.0.0 it seems his innovative work has to have the areas of text identical of size to work. This is not so easy on a curve and as expected did not work successfully the Fureware model uses five prims . I am after a mesh solution Thanks for reading KT Kinsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
