Hi, I’m trying to use blender rather than the very expensive cinema 4d for creating text for my GFX stuff however I’m having a problem. I want to figure out how I can edit the polygons of text like you would a regular model, by just dragging them one at a time. Please help 
In the 3D View, go to the Object menu -> Convert to -> Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text
Or just press Alt C in viewport
