Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for generating three-dimensional text 1403 within images 1601 composited in real time, by means of generating three-dimensional text 1403 from one or a plurality of text formatting templates 303. Storage means 204 stores said text formatting templates 303 and instructions 302 for processing means 201, 202. Said instructions 302 configure said processing means 201, 202 to define (404) a text formatting template 512. Said instructions 302 further configure said processing means 201, 202 to equip (405) said defined text formatting template 512 with three-dimensional preferences with which to format text 1402 to be included in said template and subsequently equip (407) said defined text formatting template 512 with said text 1402. Said instructions 302 finally configure said processing means 201,202 to render (408) said two-dimensional template 512 including said text 1403 formatted according to said three-dimensional preferences (1602).
