You should put a couple of more ads on your site as you could in all likelihood make a good deal of money. This is great writing.

@ blenladen:

Actually, I do mention that you need to assign a UV Texture through the Edit buttons – Quote: “Simply put, add a plane to your scene and then add a new UV Texture map to the object through the Editing buttons.”

But you are right about the property needing to be named “Text”. I’ll add that into the article.

This and other tutorials fail to mention 2 vital points in the process:
1. You need to add a UV Texture by pressing the New button (inside of the Edit panel–>Mesh tab)….
2. The name of the property *must be* “Text”….

Several other tutorials don’t mention this…what a shame I just spent 2 whole days because of that.

It sounds like you need to enable “Tex” under the Texture Face settings.

Hi,
I am trying to follow this tutorial and I have a problem with the letters that I put in the string property Text. The only thing that appears in Blender is the @ for every letter and without spaces. Could you help me to solve this problem, please ?
