Hello,

I’m working on a shirt configurator, i have a text projected on it, using a lattice.
on blender, it’s working good, but when I try to make a sneak peak or open the project it’s not anymore on it position it’s kind of flat text and don’t fit to surface,

is there any way to fix this without baking the text object because I will need to update it lately

thank u for your answers.

You can leave text editable in the engine only in it’s pure flat mode without modifyers or you need to check Bake Text checkbox, but the text will be not changable in the engine.

@Mikhail, Thank you for the answer yes I Knew about this, but my concern was more for a curved or rounded surface, like a mug, for example, something as custom printing..

I Have in mind to make an html text input, and then apply style css(font, sizes)
and then convert it to image, so that using javascript, and the every keyframe puzzle apply that image as a texture to that surface,.. Sounds not that clean, but hopefully it will works :)

If you are a Blender user, then you can use this puzzle for creating 3D text
