Good evening everyone sorry to start so many topics lately , but I’m new in handling of babylonjs and I’m developing a big project recently , the problem I’ve encountered is in adding text to a mesh. I tried with diffuse texture but the problem, the result look like this ![Capture d’écran de 2020-04-07 00-56-26](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/2X/8/8b08d0f97d39be04e801a651003d340a50507b1c.png) ps : I used the pbr for the texture of the fabric on the shirt . pbr.albedoTexture = new BABYLON.Texture(“assets/configurator/textures/texturebleu.png”, this.scene); pbr.metallic = 0.0; pbr.roughness = 0.5; pbr.sheen.isEnabled = true; pbr.sheen.intensity = 0.5; ps :im building a configurator with angular and babylonjs ---

hi , I can’t use GUI ☹ the version of the template I have can’t be upgraded (angular compiler) otherwise a lot of errors will come out, isn’t there any other way to add text to a pbr.albedo texture? ---

Without a repro in the Playground it is complicated to help. But do you want to have the text on your shirt? or as a floating label?? ---

I will try to help there. Must get indents correct (tab/shifted-tabs)… learn Monaco editor and its hot-keys, well. Line 40 - Must not use _as Mesh_ in JS-type playground. Line 36 breaks everything, crashes shaders, so I disabled. [https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#IX12S2#80](https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#IX12S2#80) At least it runs, now. 🙂 AND, there’s SOME text on the shirt. Now, to get it positioned, sized, de-blurred, and workable… I dunno. Smarter to use DynamicTexture on little planes… in my opinion. Positioning dynamicTextures at multiple places in multiple font sizes upon the shirt mesh… what a nightmare… me thinx. Sorry for discouraging opinion. Little/big planes… with words on them… SO SO much easier to deal-with. You can use DynamicTexture on little planes, too… without needing GUI 2d extension. Little planes… handy. You will simply be using DynamicTexture (many of them) on little planes… instead of Advanced Dynamic Texture (gui2d for mesh) on little planes. Slightly more difficult, but MUCH easier than DynamicTexture on-shirt… I think. No need to change angularJS. Yeah, I just rem you can’t use GUI. And that’s why I am quickly modifying my post… sorry… I forgot about that. 🙂 ---

See my adjustments to my last post. 🙂 You can use DynTextures on little planes too… no limit to how many DT’s in scene. (Wingy pushes-down the brain tumor forming on his forehead). 😃 @Ilyes_ELAYEB’s garment editor… it might be the death of us all. 😃 (just kidding) ---

You must explicitly set the `pbr.sheen.roughness` value to avoid the crash =\> it’s a bug we are going to correct asap. In any case, you want in most cases set explicitly `pbr.sheen.roughness` because if you don’t do it, you end up using the same value than `material.roughness` and can’t use a different value than the one of the material.
