You might be able to accomplish what you want by setting text->setCharacterSizeMode( osgText::Text::SCREEN_COORDS ). That applies a scale that warps the text into pixel coordinates, instead of object coordinates.

Till now the solution that I found was to create an osgText::Text object and do something like: text->setPosition( world space position ); text->setAutoRotateToScreen(true); the problem is that the text is draw very big, and is affected by perspective projection which in this case I wouldn't like. Basicly I need a text that behaves like if it was drawn on a HUD but whose position on the screen is based on the objects they are following (that is, is the projection on the screen of some world space coordinates). How can I accomplish this? The only solution I have in mind is to put all the text objects on a HUD (which complicates a lot the design of my program) and to compute by hand, every frame, the projection of the objects they are following, so that i can assign it to the text objects. Isn't there a built in functionality to achieve the same result?
