IT'S TIME TO STOP USING FLAT TEXT!



Get Dynamic 3D Text:
  • Runtime generated text geometry from .ttf or .otf fonts
    • Also font collections are supported (.ttc and .otc)
    • Use fonts with embedding license (e.g. from Google Fonts)
  • Live preview in Editor
  • Prefab support
  • Works so well that it feels like being a native part of Unity
  • Ligature support
    • standard ligatures
    • discretionary ligatures
  • Languages and writing systems
    • All common languages are supported (left-to-right or right-to-left), and even more
    • Just select a language supported by the font
    • Optionally writing system can be manually selected
  • Text flow and generation
    • Text block anchoring
      • [upper/middle/lower/baseline] [left/center/right]
    • Row alignment
      • Left/Center/Right (for multiline text)
    • Text size and depth
    • Control chars \n (newline) and \t (tab)
      • Adjustable line height
      • Adjustable tab size
    • Adjustable tracking (additional spacing between characters)
    • Note: no word-wrapping support (yet)
    • Checkboxes to generate front/back/side faces
    • Text mesh beveling
      • Adjustable bevel size, thickness, offset and segment count
    • Adjustable text curve segment count
  • Detach and Freeze
    • Detach allows you to extract the generated objects as simple mesh objects (without Dynamic 3D Text component).
    • Freeze unlinks the font, storing only lightweight shapes and allowing some dynamic adjustments.
  • Supports entering Play Mode without Domain Reload
  • Supports all Unity versions starting from Unity 2021.3 LTS
  • Doesn't contain native code, so this works on all Unity-supported platforms.

Version History

// 2025-08-09, version 0.9.1
• Added possibility to Freeze generated objects as shapes, which unlinks the font from the object.
  The result objects contains shape data which is still dynamically generated at runtime, from minimal
  amount of curve data stored into the object. Some of the generation parameters are still adjustable.
  Freeze is available through right-clicking Dynamic 3D Text component title in Inspector, similar to
  how Detach feature works.
• Verified support for Unity versions up to 6.3

// 2024-09-03, version 0.9.0
• Added possibility to Detach generated objects as simple mesh objects (without Dynamic 3D Text component).
  Detach is available in Inspector right-click context menu for the Dynamic 3D Text component.
• Preparation work a Freeze feature, which will be coming in a future version.
  Freeze will allow freezing text into shapes and unlinking the font,
  allowing dynamic mesh generation with minimal amount of data.
• Minor editor-side robustness fixes for latest Unity 6.
• Minor optimizations.
• Added hotkeys to editor menu options.

// 2024-08-23, version 0.8.0
• Big performance optimizations, Dynamic 3D Text is 4x as fast as in typical cases.
  For very large fonts the performance improvement can be even 20x or more.
• Memory optimizations: temp buffers are now reused and Meshes are released explicitly when replacing generated text.
  These changes reduce greatly pressure for garbage collection if text is updated frequently.
• Minor bug fixes.

// 2024-08-19, version 0.7.0:
• Fixed occasional black pixels at edges of fonts when using high curve subdivision
• Fixed a rare case when farsi/hindu numbers were incorrectly used with other than Arabic RTL writing systems.
• Minor quality-of-life improvements in editor inspector code.
• Update geometry internally immediately when that has been scheduled and user code asks for combined bounds.

// 2024-06-29, version 0.6.0 - Initial release.
