Introduction
Each 3D text object in TextMachine 3D can be textured with an image of your choice. If you have a full 3D text object (extrusion > 0) the text itself is textured else you will have the text object box textured. Note: Only 3D text objects allow this functionality. How to set the Texture of a 3D text object
