largento Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If you're running the latest version of OS X, you have access to the new Mac App Store. There's a free application in there called "Art Text Lite." It reminds me a little of an old application called TypeStyler that I used to use in the old days. Anyway, the free version comes with several preset styles. If you make a circle and apply the styles to them, you can then save out large resolution spheres that you can use with the Matcap shader! (Make sure your final image is square and has a black background.) If you spend the $20 for the full version, you have access to even more preset styles and you can customize your own.

largento Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 At least a *productive* use. I downloaded a free game called "Gold Strike" a few weeks ago and have lost many an hour to it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
