Version History

NOTE: We strive to release updates only when they matter, not for sake of updating.

// Version 0.9.5
•   Added support for text wrapping by characters or words, including support for soft-hyphens. Grapheme-aware handling for combining marks, emoji, and Indic conjuncts; also improved punctuation, CJK, numeric support.
•   Text object generation modes: one object per line / word / output glyph.
•   Improved per-row alignment.
•   Added Inspector buttons for freezing text as shapes and extracting generated meshes. Also added support for unfreezing text (restoring to dynamic text, if original font is still available in the project).
•   Improved support for complex writing systems, including partial shaping and vowel reordering for Indic and South/Southeast Asian scripts.
•   Refined RTL text support, including Arabic Lam-Alef handling and supplementary Unicode characters.
•   Enhanced Smooth Normals calculation. It is now out of Beta and is now the default setting for new objects.
•   More performance, better robustness, and bug fixes: Fixed malformed UTF handling, enhanced robustness when trying to load broken fonts, triangulation improvements, reduced temporary allocations, and much more small improvements. Implemented a new internal test suite with hundreds of tests.
•   Fixed import warning when using with Unity 6.5.

// 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.
