# Text Texture Generator – Built for Superhive Creators

Bring typography directly into your Blender workflow. The Text Texture Generator converts any line of copy into a ready-to-use texture without leaving the app, making it easy to ship clean UI panels, signage, decals, and motion graphics.

## Fast Reasons to Use It
- **Typo-ready controls.** Work with multi-line text, prepend/append fields, and adjustable spacing in horizontal or vertical layouts.
- **Precise placement.** Choose from a 9-point anchor grid or dial in percentage/pixel coordinates with per-axis offsets and canvas constraints.
- **Font flexibility.** Browse installed system fonts or point to custom `.ttf/.otf` files from your asset library.
- **Production-ready output.** Generate transparent or solid backgrounds, preview inside Blender’s Image Editor, and store packed textures in the `.blend` file.

## Choose Your Edition

**Free Edition**
- Core text-to-texture generation at any resolution your hardware supports.
- Anchor presets, manual positioning, RGBA color control, and live previews.
- Works in the Shader Editor, 3D Viewport, and Properties sidebar with identical UI.

**Pro Edition**
- Unlimited composition components: combine text and image overlays, order them before/after the main copy, or position them absolutely with independent scale, rotation, spacing, and z-index. SVG overlays rasterize automatically via CairoSVG.
- Normal map creation from the alpha channel with strength, blur, and invert controls.
- One-click shader builder for Principled, Emission, or Transparent materials, including optional light-path tweaks and auto-assignment to the active object.
- Plane instancing that drops a correctly proportioned plane with the new material applied and a Simple subdivision modifier for displacement workflows.
- Dual-location presets that save to the current `.blend` or Blender’s config folder, plus import/export for teams and backups.
- Adaptive text fitting to keep designs inside custom canvas margins without manual tweaking.

## Ideal For
- Superhive storefront graphics, kitbashes, and UI-focused asset packs.
- Game and XR creators who need consistent text-based decals.
- Motion artists who want quick typographic elements for 3D compositions.

## Requirements & Setup
- Blender 4.0 or newer on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Pillow and CairoSVG install automatically, so SVG overlays work immediately.
- Installation follows the standard “Install Add-on from File…” flow and includes demo `.blend` scenes to explore the toolset immediately.
