This script for Daz Studio lets you quickly create a text label, and apply it to a surface in the scene.

Ideal for those who use Daz Studio to create tutorials

Pre-Requisite : this script makes use of the services offered by imageMagick

as you can see below, you have access to all the fonts installed on your PC!

Absolutely incredible!  I’ve been wanting to be able to do just that, and hadn’t quite known how!

Looks very useful.  Is there a way to make the object billboard transparent but NOT the text?

Casual, I just downloaded and installed Labelizer and I have a question. I placed ImageMagick in my Programs directory as indicated on the web page but when I tried to point the script to its location the default pointer did not change and I got the message “Please specify a valid path to imagemagick/convert.exe.”.

I am running a 64 bit Win 7 machine and DAZ4. OS is Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1. I run with admin access.

I made a copy (did not install) of the ImageMagik program directory and put it on my root directory. The script ran successfully.

I noticed that I have to have both the root directory and the Program Files directory for the script to run. I found this out when I renamed the Program Files directory to something else. When I did that the script no longer worked.

I did not try to run the script with an install to the root directory only.

I changed the default in the script file to point at the Program Files directory by changing
var default_ed0text = “c:/imagemagick/convert.exe”;
to
var default_ed0text = “c:/Program Files/imagemagick/convert.exe”;

The script ran successfully.

Am I doing something wrong?  If I need to give you more information just ask.

This is a great tool and I am going to feature it in the July Freebie contest on July 2 with Eustaces’ shaders, which happens to be about graphic/toon renders, “Heros, Heroines and 3DGraphics”. I hope you can come by and check it out.

... Lonnie

yes indeed it looks like my script doesn’t accept to change the path to imagemagick !

lets see ...

oh i see now, the function called exeBrowse(), gets a path then does nothing with it !

so i change it to

//==================================================================
//
//==================================================================
function exeBrowse()
{
 var filename = FileDialog.doFileDialog( 
  true, 
  "Select Executable", 
  ed0.text, 
  "EXE Files (*.exe)" 
  );
 if( filename )
 {
  ed0.text = filename;
 }
}
} 

and it now works

so i’ll upload the corrected version in the next minutes

thanks for pointing it out

lets add a labelized image ...

( ah when will mcjSuperLathe v1,0 be launched?, Time will tell )
