High-Quality 3D Text with Troika and SDF Rendering

What this builds

A production-grade 3D text rendering system using troika-three-text that displays crisp, resolution-independent text in a Three.js scene. Unlike Three.js's built-in TextGeometry (which extrudes font outlines into heavy triangle meshes), troika uses Signed Distance Field (SDF) rendering on a single quad per glyph, giving you sharp text at any camera distance with a fraction of the geometry cost.

• SDF-based glyph rendering: crisp at any zoom level, no jagged edges, no LOD management
• Standard .ttf/.otf/.woff font loading with automatic SDF atlas generation
• Full text layout engine: word wrap, alignment, line height, letter spacing, max width
• Custom Three.js materials applied to text (ShaderMaterial, MeshPhysicalMaterial with envMap)
• Outline, stroke, drop shadow, and glow effects via SDF distance manipulation
• Text anchoring for precise positioning relative to scene objects
• Proper disposal and font caching
• R3F integration via drei's Text component (which wraps troika internally)
