Hi, @al404 your uv scales & offsets were all messy

But hey, while you're at it with 2d text, try out the new canvas 2D

thanks, text seems a little stretched but is not a big issue

from your example canvas 2D it looks more like a static overlay, i need text over a 3D element

@al404

Check this one out: http://babylonjs-playground.com/#1N9RJY#5

And at the bottom of this page: http://doc.babylonjs.com/overviews/Canvas2D_Home there are a bunch of different PG's showing different features of the canvas 2D

the first null in draw text messed it up

outputplaneTexture.drawText("bla bla bla bla", NULL

fixed

[al404]

outputplaneTexture.drawText("bla bla bla bla",12, 160, "bold 160px verdana", "white", "#00ffAA");

the 2 numeric value as far as i read are supposed to set the position but i'm not really sure 

var outputplaneTexture = new BABYLON.DynamicTexture("dynamictexture", 512, scene, true);

I guess I need to change 512 to make it feet all my text
