BGE dynamic 3D text ---> Update

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

Hey all!

Today I have been wondering about 3D fonts and how they could be realised in Blender.
Several minutes of coding and texting later I achieved a script wich builds a 3D text from individual letter objects.
The input for the text is the “text” property of the font empty, you can use your keyboard to edit it in the BGE.
Note that currently only capital letters work, other symbols, numbers and letters will follow later since it’s quite a lot of work.

Please leave your opinion on this and feel free to let me know about ways to improve this!

Edit: New version is available now wich contains a script to create your own font within some seconds!

Could you make a password out of your python script?

Sorry @3d_solar_system_buil but I don’t understand what you mean…

Like this blend but make it into a python script for the blender game engine.

Sorry but that has nothing to do with the 3D font…
