In this video, we explore how to use engraved text as background decoration on a shape. We use the Tile Repeat and Mask modifiers to create the background text. We also see how to allow adjustments to the final result by extracting various parameters like text spacing, angle, and size. Finally, we add a selection menu that lets us choose between different shapes.
