TextForge 3D:

Version: 1.0.0

Blender Compatibility: 4.4 and above

Category: Add Mesh / Text

What It Does:

TextForge 3D lets you generate, style, and finalize 3D text objects

directly from Blender's N-Panel — no manual font object setup required.

Installation:

1. Download `textforge_3d.zip`

2. Open Blender → Edit → Preferences → Add-ons

3. Click Install... and select the downloaded `.zip`

4. Enable the checkbox next to TextForge 3D

5. Open the N-Panel in the 3D Viewport (press `N`) → find the TextForge 3D tab

How to Use:

Step 1 — Type Your Text

Enter your text in the Text Input field. It supports multiple lines.

Step 2 — Generate

Click Generate 3D Text. A 3D text object appears in your scene

with a Principled BSDF material already applied.

Step 3 — Style in Real-Time

Adjust any of the following — changes apply instantly to the object:

| Section        |  Controls                                              

|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------

| Typography  |  Font Size, Shear (italic), Horizontal/Vertical Align  

| Geometry     |  Extrude Depth, Bevel, Bevel Segments, Resolution, Offset 

| Spacing        |  Letter Spacing, Word Spacing, Line Spacing            

| Material        |  Base Color, Metallic, Roughness                       

Step 4 — Convert to Mesh

When you are happy with the result, click Convert to Mesh.

The text curve becomes a fully editable mesh object — ready for

sculpting, modifiers, and export.

Tips:

- Use Re-sync to Object if you manually moved/edited the object and

  want to push panel values back to it.

- After Convert to Mesh, use Mesh > Clean Up > Merge by Distance

  to remove duplicate vertices on the edges.

- Pair with a Subdivision Surface modifier after conversion for

  ultra-smooth beveled edges.
