You can make such textures in some other image programs and then do uvmapping on your models....its a bit of trial error thing...you may take some time according to your skill...

if you want the text ...

oops...you mean you change the .h file yourself ?

Thanks for your reply. May be I just set the camera point by point to solve this problem.
