[SOLVED] Text Element & Fog, Generall Info about 3d-Screen-Entity

Help & Support
1

I’ve recently noticed that Rendering → Fog does not work on Text-Elements.
I’ve already tried to set them to World-Layer, but that did not work.

Another question concerns the 3d-Screen-Entity:
Like you see in my project it’s possible to use text in 3d space without this element. Is its main use case to provide a base transform (similar to the regular entity for 3d Objects)?

I’d say it’s likely text does not support fog, that is not commonly used. Under the hood it uses standard shader, so there could be a way to force it, but not sure.

I believe you’re correct, it’s just a base transform / area for placement / alignment / anchoring.
