Text Rendering

Eagle Engine supports font rendering using a technique called Multi-channel Signed Distance Field (MSDF). Using MSDF allows to render text efficiently at almost any size including extremely large text without any pixelization.

Text has the following parameters you can change:

  1. Does Cast Shadows.

  2. Is Lit. If set to true, text will be lit using PBR-pipeline, meaning material will be used for rendering.

  3. Color. It’s used, if Is Lit is set to false.

  4. Line spacing. Spacing between lines.

  5. Kerning. Spacing between letters.

  6. Max Width. The maximum width of a line.
