3D Name tags

#1 Post by Zenytee »

So as the title says, how can I do 3d name tags?
(And Xela if you're reading this, maybe again seems like a stupid question :lol: but I couldn't find it anywhere)
I appreciate if someone can help

I am not (exactly) sure what you mean by 3D name tags.

1) There are 3D(ish) looking fonts which you can use to spell out the tags.
2) You can use images rendered in 3D software or drawn to look like 3D (this one you can get to look really amazing).
3) You can sometimes even plainly add "shadow"/"outlines" to a normal font and it will start looking 3D(ish).

... prolly even more ways...

====>>
You cannot do a 3D render in Ren'Py, no well or fast anyway but images would look a lot better anyway.

And there's a line of code that can replace the name tag with an image? if so, could you tell what it is?
