I am trying to understand 3D Studio text creation with an eye to doing titles for video. I legally own my copy of 3DS, and I've tried hard to find the solution on my own — so if this is a RTFM-type of question, my apologies in advance. I find it difficult to create large quantities of text of a consistent size such as would be required for a long title crawl. When I tried to use Corel Draw 5 to create the text objects and import them as Adobe Illustrator splines, the characters were not suitable for lofting (they self-intersected, weren't closed, or both). How can I most efficiently enter and loft several hundred lines of evenly-spaced text? Even as I ask this question I am CERTAIN I've missed something. Nonetheless, it remains asked. Thanks..
