I have been working on a project that involves a lot of text handling, and I’ve recently started trying to add some 3D rotations and transformations to some of the graphics. However, when I switch to the P3D renderer, the text comes out distorted and ugly. Here is the default software renderer: …

Hi hi :slight_smile: Does calling smooth(8) make any difference? Here a way to combine P3D and JAVA2D: PGraphics textLayer; void settings() { size(640, 480, P3D); smooth(8); } void setup() { textLayer = createGraphics(width, height, JAVA2D); textLayer.beginDraw(); textLayer.textAlign(C…

In 3D I always use textMode(SHAPE); for a 2D HUD inside 3D see #9 here 25 life saving tips for processing (blogpost) - Processing Forum Remark also, for 3D I use lights(); and a function to avoid clipping

Thank you! This is a big help, and works perfectly. Now the only annoying part is that most of my project is 2D graphics, with only a few small 3D aspects, and apparently I can only run a JAVA2D PGraphics on top of a P3D sketch – not the other way around. So now I have to go through and change ever…

Hello, Keep at it! I just played with the code @hamoid provided: boolean toggle; void settings() { size(600, 600, P3D); //smooth(8); } void setup() { textAlign(CENTER, CENTER); textSize(100); } void draw() { background(0); translate(width/2, height/2); pushMatrix(); …

Hello @macwarrior , Are you using a mac? Can you provide a few lines of code (an MCVE ) to reproduce your original issue? I am just curious and want to try it on my W10 PC. :)

I am using Windows 10 as well. The name is an old one I’ve been using since the 1990s :slight_smile: However, here’s a cut down version of what I used to make the example screenshots. The font is freely available at VCR OSD Mono Font | dafont.com PFont small, smaller; color bg = #000000; color f…

Hell @macwarrior , I was curious and wanted to compare outputs: PFont small, smaller; PGraphics pg; boolean tog1, tog2; color bg, fg; void settings() { //size(800, 480); //size(800, 480, P2D); size(800, 480, P3D); //noSmooth(); //smooth(2); } void setup() { small = create…
