Letters Template (Free for use!)

Support Modeling
1

I am currently in the process of developing a basic template that has the alphabet, including numbers, modeled in 3D. I though 'Why should anyone have to go through the process of making words over and over again every time they want to make a statement or a logo in 3D? Why not just make one basic template so that no one has to!? So, here I am, modeling each letter, one…by…one. It certainly will have to be modifiable, unless I want to create whole different fonts. Well, here’s where I am so far…

Edit: Sorry, I haven’t gotten too far yet, but you should get the idea.

I’m not sure I understand why you are doing this. I can already add 3D text using any font on my system. What more does your system offer that Blender doesn’t already have?

You can create a text in blender, the press alt-c and covert it into a object.

How do you make the text, and where?

One thing you have to realize about logos is that they are typically already defined when you begin to work with them. So any kind of generalized font work is a waste of time. You will have to use the logo’s font anyway.

Thanks for sharing, though!

Okay. Sorry - I did not know about the text-to-object converter thing. Does anyone know where I can find it?:rolleyes::spin:

Add -> Text
…or Spacebar -> Add -> Text

You can edit the font etc at F9
ALT+C to convert it to Curve or Mesh

It’s already in Blender.
Add text.
Edit text in editmode.
Then Alt+C to choose between converting to curve or mesh

OK. I will do that. How do you load fonts?
