Need Help with In-Game Text

Unity Engine
1

Hi there!
I started making a game for school (like virtual museum) but when I want to add in a text next to painting with the name of the painitng and artists name, it doesnt show up in-game.
I dont want GUI text.
Here is how I it should look:
Imgur

Thanks!

Well there are several ways you can do that, here’s how I did it. Create a .png image of the text you want, with a transparent background. (I used Gimp(a free image editor), edit/create/logo) Import into Unity, make sure you check “alpha is transparent” in the texture’s import settings. Add a plane, drag the image onto the plane’s material. (just under add component button) Choose transparent\cutout\diffuse as your shader.

you could try the gui.Label feature…

public string title;

title = “mona lisa”;
GUI.Label(new Rect(0,0,0,0), “”+ title;

or you could change the string from a set value to capture the gameobject name;

title = (gameObject.name);
