Why we like it

Earns its place in the superhive library as a focused, dependency-free addon: it turns text into organized, editable letter boards and lets you re-enter existing settings with Recall instead of rebuilding from scratch.

What is Letter Board - Text Creator?

Letter Board - Text Creator is a lightweight Blender addon from Mr. Steve 3D that generates fully customizable 3D letter boards at the position of your 3D cursor. It's aimed at designers, motion-graphics artists, and game developers building text-based props and in-scene signage, and it removes the need to model each character manually.

Once a board is placed, you get full typography control: scale individual letters, adjust line spacing between rows, and tune letter spacing for a tighter or airier feel. Text can run across unlimited lines, and each line, or the whole board, can be aligned left, center, or right. Naming a board automatically creates a matching Collection that keeps its letters, spacers, and background elements organized in the Outliner.

Editing stays quick. Update your text and click Generate again to replace the board while preserving spacing and alignment, or select an existing board and press Recall to load its text, spacing, alignment, and size back into the panel. It requires Blender 3.0 or higher, has no external dependencies, works with Cycles and Eevee, and is released under the GPL license.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Letter Board - Text Creator support?

Letter Board - Text Creator requires Blender 3.0 or higher, and its listing notes compatibility from Blender 3.3 through 4.5. The addon installs with no external dependencies, so once you're on a supported version it works out of the box. If you're running an older build than 3.0, you'll need to update Blender before installing. For the exact supported range and any recent changes, check the developer's page, since compatibility details can shift as new Blender releases arrive.

Does Letter Board - Text Creator need any external dependencies?

Letter Board - Text Creator has no external dependencies, so there's nothing extra to download or configure beyond the addon itself. It installs in seconds and works out of the box inside Blender. You add it through the standard add-ons preferences, enable it, and start generating letter boards right away. This keeps setup simple and avoids the version conflicts that can come with separate libraries or supporting packages. For the latest download and any setup notes, refer to the developer's page.

How do I install Letter Board - Text Creator in Blender?

Letter Board - Text Creator installs like a standard Blender addon. Download the latest ZIP from the GitHub or Gumroad release page, then in Blender open Edit, Preferences, Add-ons, Install. Select the ZIP file and enable Letter Board in the add-ons list. Because it carries no external dependencies, it's ready to use immediately after enabling. From there you position the 3D cursor, open the Letter Board panel, name your board, enter text, and click Generate. Check the developer's page for the current release.

Does Letter Board - Text Creator work with Cycles and Eevee?

Letter Board - Text Creator is listed as working with both Cycles and Eevee, so the letter boards it generates render in either engine. The addon creates the board along with letters, spacers, and background elements organized into a Collection, and you control letter size, line spacing, letter spacing, and alignment per line or across the whole board. One-click regeneration replaces the board while preserving spacing, and Recall loads a selected board's settings back into the panel. For engine-specific details, see the developer's page.

Is Letter Board - Text Creator free, and what license does it use?

Letter Board - Text Creator is listed as free here in the catalog, and it's released under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change, so for current pricing and license details it's best to check the developer's page directly. The GPL license generally allows use and modification under its terms. Beyond licensing, the addon needs no external dependencies and installs quickly, so getting started doesn't involve extra purchases or supporting tools. Confirm the latest terms on the developer's page before relying on them.
