I am looking for a relatively low cost application that can generate 3d text meshes from Postscript and or true type fonts (or any other source) This application must be able to export to DXF or 3DS file formats. I find the 2d shaper in 3D Studio a little too ponderous and quircky to rely on for the high volumes of 3D text I must produce. Building the text in AutoCAD is also too slow a process even with the many 3d enhancements I have created with AutoLisp. Contact me here or at kaplancon@aol.com if you know of any such application. Thank's

Rick Check out Font3D I think that there is a demo available here or in the showcase forum. I have only looked at the demo but at less than $50 to register it is a great price. It runs under Win and allows you to play with the extruded text before you export it. It is definitely worth a look. -Matt (Active Media Graphics) Y 50 /g fM/
