Text Box

Video

Tired of having to tediously 3D track your videos in post production just to add text boxes? I was, and that is why I created Text Box. This blueprint provides a quick and easy solution to add text boxes to your unreal engine project. Simple as drag and drop the blueprint anywhere into your viewport and choose the text, colour, style, arrow length and font. The blueprint makes sure that the text box automatically faces the camera or the player, no matter where you move to. What's more, you can have the Text Box automatically animate in/out whenever the camera gets within a specified distance of the blueprint, to save you having to do any key framing.

Instructions on how to use: Simply drag and drop the Text_Box_BP into your viewport and in the Details panel, you can add in your custom Text and find all the variables you can control to customise the look, style, colour and size of the text, text box and arrows.
