Displaying text in P3D

Redwire

I'm trying to simulate a card being flipped with some text on it. nothing shows with text() using P3D or OPENGL. I read that I might need to add a text to the data file. how do I do this? where do I copy it from?

float angle = 0;
void setup() {
  size(500,500,P3D);
 camera(400,-200,700,
         0,0,0,
         0,1,0);
 text("Hey", 20,60,-10);
}
void draw() {
  if (angle < 3) {
    angle =angle +0.1;
  fill(150,150,150);
  background(255);
   rectMode(CORNER);
    rotateY(angle);
    box(150,350,2);
    textSize(30);
    color(255,0,0);
    text("Hey", 20,60,-10);
  delay(100);
  println(angle);
 if (angle >= 2.9){ angle =0;}
  }
     
 }

Actually, I think your 3D code is fine. the problem is that you're not settling the text color correctly. The color() function just returns a color, it doesn't set the display color for text. You need to call fill() for that. When I make that one change, your text starts to show up for me. It might not have exactly the relationship to the plane that you think it should, though. I might think about using a PGraphics object to draw both the rectangle and the text and then rotating that in 3D to make things simpler.

float angle = 0; 

void setup() { 
  size(500, 500, P3D); 
  camera(400, -200, 700, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0); 
} 
void draw() { 
  if (angle < 3) { 
    angle =angle +0.1; 
    fill(150, 150, 150); 
    background(255); 
    rectMode(CORNER); 
    rotateY(angle); 
    box(150, 350, 2); 
    textSize(30); 
    fill(255, 0, 0); 
    text("Hey", 20, 60, -10); 
    delay(100); 
    println(angle); 
    if (angle >= 2.9) { 
      angle =0;
    }
  }
}

You are correct on both points. Text now shows and it will not give the effect I was looking for. Thanks sorry about the code formatting. I will look at PGraphics

How can I only show the text on one side of the card after it is flipped?

__float angle = 0; 
PGraphics pg; 
void setup() { 
  size(500, 500, P3D); 
  camera(400, -200, 700, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0); 
   pg = createGraphics(200, 340);
  fill(255, 0, 0); 
    //text("Hey", 130, 60, -30);
    
    
     pg.beginDraw();
  //pg.background(100);
  pg.stroke(255);
  pg.textSize(32);
  pg.fill(255,0,0,50);
  pg.text("Hey", 20, 50);
  pg.fill(89,92,255,100);
  pg.rectMode(CORNER); 
  pg.rect(20, 20,150,250);
  
  pg.fill(255,0,0);
  pg.text("Action", 20, 50);
  pg.endDraw();
} 
void draw() { 
  
  
 
  if (angle < 3) { 
    angle =angle+0.1; 
    //fill(150, 150, 150); 
    background(255); 
    rectMode(CORNER); 
    rotateY(angle); 
    translate(-60,0);
    image(pg, 50, 130);
    
    delay(100); 
    println(angle); 
    if (angle >= 2.99) { 
      angle =0;
    }
  }
}

How about 2 PImages for front & back.
Then decide which 1 to display based on current angle? :-\"

The sketch opens but nothing show up regardless of whether I click the mouse or hit a key. If I change a fill parameter say #FF0000 to #C700FF , I get an error message Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize). For more information, read revisions.txt and Help ? Troubleshooting.

Perhaps a SMOOTH = 8 is too high for your system! (O_O) Lower that and try again. :D

Anyways, I've posted an adapted version of it online. Check it out: (^_^)

I tried with SMOOTH = 6,4,2 and with reduced frame rate with no success. I think it is a computer software issue. Here is the complete output.
