Streamlining 3D Text Workflows 🚀

Just launched the Text Texture Generator for Blender - a solution that eliminates the need for external graphics software when creating text textures.

Key benefits for professional workflows:
✅ Generates high-resolution textures with normal maps (hardware-limited)
✅ Batch processing for localization projects
✅ Preset system for brand consistency
✅ Cross-platform compatibility
✅ Complete shader generation

Ideal for:
• Architectural visualization firms
• Game development studios
• Motion graphics agencies
• Product visualization teams

The time savings are significant - what previously required switching between multiple applications now happens entirely within Blender.

This tool has been game-changing for our team's productivity. We've reduced text texture creation time from 30+ minutes to under 2 minutes per asset.

Available on BlenderMarket and Gumroad.

#### Case Study Post

```
Case Study: 10x Faster UI Texture Creation 📊

Challenge: Our game needed 50+ UI text elements with consistent styling, normal maps, and various language localizations.

Old workflow:
⏱️ 45 minutes per texture
🔄 Photoshop → Blender → repeat
😫 Manual normal map creation
🌍 Separate files for each language

New workflow with Text Texture Generator:
⏱️ 4 minutes per texture
🎯 Everything in Blender
🤖 Automatic normal maps
📦 Batch processing for localization

Results:
• 91% time reduction
• Consistent quality across all assets
• Simplified pipeline
• Team productivity boost

Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones. This addon solved a workflow pain point we didn't even realize could be solved so elegantly.

What workflow inefficiencies are you dealing with in your 3D projects?

Hey Blender artists! 👋

Just dropped a new addon that's been a game-changer for my workflow - Text Texture Generator!

Instead of jumping between Blender → Photoshop → back to Blender for text textures, everything happens in one place now.

Features I'm loving:
• Instant preview as you type
• Professional effects (shadows, glows, strokes)
• Automatic normal map generation
• Batch processing for game projects
• Smart preset system
• Resolution only limited by Blender and your hardware

Perfect for anyone doing game dev, motion design, or archviz work.

Been using it for UI elements in my indie game and it's cut my texture creation time by 90%. What used to take an hour now takes 5 minutes.

Happy to answer questions or show examples! 🤙

Available on BlenderMarket and Gumroad if you want to check it out.
