Creating the text

Now, it is time to get into the heart of a Hello World project and create Hello, World!. With our recent experience of creating objects in the preceding section, this should be a rather simple task.

We will create two separate objects here: one will be Hello, and the second will be World.

We will be performing the following steps to create the objects:

1. In the Hierarchy panel, click on the create button, mouse over the 3D Object menu option, and choose 3D Text from the submenu.
2. Ensuring that the object is selected, look at Inspector:

1. You may notice--if you take a look at the Text Mesh component--that the words Hello World are the default for a 3D text object. Click on the box, add a comma (,) after Hello and delete the word World from the object.
2. Select New Text in the name box, and change the name to Hello.

1. Go to the Transform component and change the Position to X: -4.3, Y: 2 and Z: 5. This will put the object where we need it in the camera view:

1. Now, you may notice a blurry /blocky effect on the word; let's fix it. In the Text Mesh component, look for the filed Character Size and change it to 0.19.
2. In the Font Size field, change the font size from 0 to 84:

Now Hello, should look clear and ready to go. Let's move on to the next word.

We will now duplicate the previous word, make a few changes instead of repeating all the steps from the preceding section. Work smart, not hard they say, but if you do both, well you are probably amazing. Perform the following steps to do it:

1. In the Hierarchy panel, right-click on the Hello object and select Duplicate.
2. In the Inspector panel, change the name of the object to World.
3. Move down to the Text Mesh component and in the Text box change the text to World!.
4. Now, go to the Transform component like before, and change the X Position to -0.2.

With that, we should now have a scene that looks very similar to this; if that is the case, great work!:
