3d (kinda...) text rotation

Mazer · **Posted:** Mon May 19, 2003 12:04 pm

it's not 'truly' 3D but then again, i wasn't going for 'truly' 3D (i'll leave that to catalyst Wink

)

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

WHOA!!!!!...thats a really amazing effect...the fact taht its not even just set for one word that you can change your word and it will give you the effec....really nice work...

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

is it just me or does the text change direction?

very cool Very Happy

ummm...are you sure about that...i used my nikaname on msn "Dushy" and it worked perfectly fine....and yea...the screen...thats true...but its not hard to change...

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 Very Happy

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...

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> Very Happy

dood taht is some pretty sweet stuffs. it'd make a pretty neat text effect too

Mazer · **Posted:** Tue May 20, 2003 8:18 pm

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 - Twisted Evil

Martin · **Posted:** Tue May 20, 2003 10:23 pm

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

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.
