Hi Alll , I am using three.js lib to load a 3d model of watch and then customize it by adding text to it . Now I want to add text on watch’s back dial , To add text I have followed [https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/1041](https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/1041) : creating a canvas -\> writing to canvas --\> appending image to a texture --\> appending the texture to back dial material’s map. Although Text is rendered fine in canvas but not showing up watch’s back dial.  
repo :  
repo : [https://github.com/bhupendra1011/watch-3d-engrave](https://github.com/bhupendra1011/watch-3d-engrave)  
Live example : [https://bhupendra1011.github.io/watch-3d-engrave/](https://bhupendra1011.github.io/watch-3d-engrave/)

the 3d model is a free version downloaded from clara . Might be it’s uv map is corrupt , I don’t have much knowledge of creating 3d models , I tried opening it in blender but could not figure it out . Any help would be appreciated …

All js code in main1.js .  
Kindly let me know what i m missing here

Thanks

This topic might help. The linked comment mentions the Mesh tab in Blender where you can check if uvs are present.
