it's not 'truly' 3D but then again, i wasn't going for 'truly' 3D (i'll leave that to catalyst  )
anyways, i saw an effect like this in an installer for... something... um and i thought it was pretty cool so i made my own. MOD Edit: WOW, looks awesome. +30Bits - Tony |

yes... about that... it doesn't *really* work like that. if your text contains letters such as 'g', 'y', 'q' or any character at all that goes below the line (don't ask me to explain what i mean...) then it won't get the bottom part of the letter. also, i set up the window to pretty much just fit -=MAZER=- so depending on how long yours is you'll have to adjust the window size. but thanks anyways for the comments |

Very cool, I'm playing with the code to get some interesting effects. |

Woah, cool, this is nice. Im not too good with RGB, but just wondering if you could use RGB for this and make it look more 3D, I'll see if I could do something like that. |

Very cool effect
form the code it looks like you have the basics of a particle engine there |

really? odd... maybe it's because of the font. i have it set to use one called "Sherwood" anyways, i'll look into that later or something... AsianSensation wrote: Woah, cool, this is nice.

sure that wouldn't be too hard at all. in fact... <shameless self advertisement> my RGB values program may prove quite useful in this </shameless self advertisement> |

ok, made a tiny update, it should fix the problem with characters like 'y'... i still can't understand why it worked for you. anyways, i also made it easier to change stuff... well just the spacing between dots for now |

the best and only 3d text effect made by turing so far... |

Mazer... I saw that little edit to your post you made... not funny. Dont let me catch you with that again, else I'll change + to a -  |

Actually...that was me. He peer pressured me into it at school. I'll be back later, gotta buy some cigarettes |

in the 2nd example, if you change spacing to 1 then it looks REALLY 3D, pretty awesome, I award you +5 bits for adding that ability. |

heres my 3d text (it helps to have a 3d particle engine ) |

you can screw with the rotation in the Rotate command Spray->Rotate (x,y,z<-around what coor,X,Y,Z<-How much on each axis) |

ok here's another update with the colour of the dot depending on it's depth. it's pretty damn sloppy but it gets the job done for now. |

it really isn't that complicated, you can do it easily if you just know a little basic trig. i wrote an explanation for it a while back, i'll have to see if i can dig that up and post it. |
