Looking for a simple way to Add an Image or text to a 3d Model

Question

So I'm just looking for something simple not something finished. Though I guess using a atlas would be a bonus.

I have 3d cylinders that I would like to either tack some words onto or a picture for my testing. It seems like there should be a simple way but I cannot find one.

Can anyone help me?

If I understand correctly, you would like to display 2d text or icons where a 3d model is situated in 3d space?

Try something like this:

 var WorldNamePos : Vector3;
 
 function OnGUI()
 {
      WorldNamePos = Camera.main.camera.WorldToScreenPoint(Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 1.5, transform.position.z));
 
      GUI.Label (Rect (WorldNamePos.x, Screen.height - WorldNamePos.y, 100, 50),"Object Name");
 
 }
