Readout Pro animates accurate 3D labels that track measurements, motion, and kinetic data in real time—then bakes them to clean meshes, one per sampled frame, with perfect keyed visibility.

⚙️ Core Features
Multi-Set Power
Add unlimited sets. Each set is its own configuration: source object, measurement kind, units, precision, sampling, placement, rotation, and style—all fully independent.
Trusted Math
All calculations use evaluated transforms and meshes from Blender’s depsgraph, meaning modifiers, constraints, and animations are respected.
What you see is what you measure.
Live, Safe Preview
Instant, non-destructive previews update live as you tweak. Just click Animate Readouts to add the frame range when ready.
Per-Frame, Keyed Meshes
On bake, each sampled frame produces one clean mesh, automatically keyed so only the correct frame’s label appears during playback and rendering.
Frame-Step Control
Tune your “Every N Frames” setting to balance fidelity and performance:
Step 1 → buttery-smooth motion updated every single frame
Step 2–5 → perfect balance for most scenes
Step ≥10 → ultra-light setups for previews or long shots
Your frame step defines the density of data—and the efficiency of your timeline.
Placement Freedom
Choose how and where your labels appear:
World Offset — absolute placement in world space
Local Offset — follows the object’s transform
AABB Face / Corner — auto-align to a bounding-box face or corner
Always Face Camera — billboard toward active view
Rotate With Object — inherits rotation but ignores scale, preventing text warping
Fine-tune placement using margins, offsets, and rotation angles (X/Y/Z).
Typography + True 3D
Use any font, control size, and add extrusion and bevel to create 3D text that matches your art direction or technical aesthetic.
Design data that feels intentional, not overlaid.
Unified Look
Keep it consistent with a shared material system—color, emission, and naming unified across all readouts.
Update one material, and every label updates instantly.
Undo-Safe & Pipeline-Ready
Every bake creates clean collections with stable naming conventions, visible progress feedback, and full undo support for safe iteration.
