  • Bodypaint 3D Text Problem

    ok. here is my problem. i created a 3D ring. and want to put text arount the ring. not long, like a 4 letter word. and when i apply text to it in bodypaint the text gets distorted. looks bad, pixelated and blurry. what i find rare is that when i apply the text it looks good at first. but when i orbit the view or move it the text is damaged… and it stays like that even in a full render. any suggestions?

    Sounds like you’re projecting the text on the ring, which will look good from the perspective you project it from, but it will in fact smear down the sides. What you need to do is unwrap the ring’s UVs and then apply the text flat in the 2D texture window.
