3d TEXT rendering???

[headofrealestate]

I'm a newb... 100%... even though I bought the software at NAPP in Miami a few years ago. I never did find time to load it and use it.

 

But... I come to ask a question from the experts...

 

Will this software allow me to create 3d textured text animations for use in video production? I was looking at Boris Red and then I remembered buying AM and thought I'd see if it might handle the job.

 

Thanks in advance for your comments, suggestions, insight, etc.

It's pretty much just as easy as JohnL said above. I believe the fonts have to be TrueType fonts in I m not mistaken.

One tip about the font wizard... when you use it you'll notice different options for how it fills in the face of the letters. One option may leave a crease on some letters and another will do it to other letters.

 

Do a run with each option and use the best looking letters from each.

Thanks everyone... I'll load the program and get to it tonight. I appreciate the info!

some fonts will not work, maybe the one you want to use (that´s what happens to me most of the time...) but there´s a simple solution:

instead of using the font wizard type your text in adobe illustrator, convert to path, save as .ai (you might wanna save it as a early version like ai 8.0 or so, the newer formats a:m doesn´t like...) and then import it to a:m with the help of the ai-wizard....
