bevy_text3d

Prototype of 3D text using ab_glyph to get the glyph curves from the fonts, lyon to generate meshes for each glyph, and glyph_brush_layout to position the glyphs. Each glyph is an entity spawned under the parent Text3dBundle entity.

use plugin::{Text3dBundle, Text3dPlugin};
    commands.spawn(Text3dBundle {
        text: Text::from_sections([
            TextSection::new(
                "Hello,\nWorld!",
                TextStyle {
                    font: asset_server.load("fonts/Fira_Mono-Bold.ttf"),
                    font_size: 40.0,
                    color: Color::rgb(0.8, 0.9, 0.7),
                },
            ),
        ])
        .into(),
        ..default()
    });

To do

• librarify this
• colours don't work properly when lights are on and are faded when not
• do something with Text3dSize
• Text Bounds (support text wrapping)
• perhaps custom material handles injected into Text instead of colour (would have to run our own SectionText)
• double-sided mesh
• extruded mesh
• migrate to cosmic-text
• support text editing and interaction
• more examples
