What should I do if my text exceeds my text render target boundaries?
- by user1423893
I have a method for drawing strings in 3D that does the following:
Set a render target
Draw each character as a quadrangle using a orthographic projection to the render target
Unset the render target
Draw the render target texture using a perspective projection and a world transform
My problem is how to deal with strings whose characters length exceeds that of the render target dimensions? For example if I have string "This is a reallllllllllly long string" and the render target can't accommodate it, it will only capture "This is a realllll".
The render target (and its size) could be set each frame but wouldn't that be far too costly?
