3D Lens Texture Doesn't Work

  • It could be a few different things.

    The bright white makes me wonder if the strength of your directional light is too high.

    Another reason textures don't show up correctly is due to flipped normals. Check the normals in your 3D package, fix if needed, then re-export and re-import into Lens Studio. If you need help checking your normals, just search for it for your particular 3D software; there are lots of tutorials out there.

    Another reason could be your UV map. This is something you'd need to check in your 3D software as well.

    If you aren't using an image texture but instead just a base color, it may be that your material has not been applied to all faces of your mesh. This would also need to be fixed in your 3D software.

    But based off that screenshot I'm inclined to say your light is too bright.

  • The text texture in Lens Studio is treated as an image texture, and in order to place it onto a 3D object, we need to make sure the UV map is set up for that. I personally use Blender, but feel free to use whatever software you wish.

    • Select the faces on your object where you would like the text texture to be placed
    • Give these faces a new material
    • Create a second UV map for your object
    • With just these faces selected, UV unwrap your object onto the new UV map
    • Scale the faces in the UV map as desired
    • Export your object and import it into Lens Studio

    Heading into Lens Studio, create a Text Texture if you haven't already (in the Resources Panel) and give it some sample text. You also need to make sure your text material is set up. It can be as simple as an Unlit material, or it can be a custom material made with the Material Editor. Assign the material texture to the text texture and then select your model, find the material to be replaced, and replace it with your new material.
