#Rendering Text
2 messages in this thread
Can anyone tell me an efficient way to get non-linear Truetype text from a
package like CorelDraw into Renderize Live? By non-linear I mean text that has
been fitted to a path. Linear text, I realize, can be easily converted in
Visual Font, but trying to export non-linear text from CorelDraw (as a .DXF for
instance) results in a real mess in Visual Modeler. Thusfar, the only way I
can see to do this is to convert the imported polylines to polygons and then
use the Solid Subtract function to remove the open areas on letters with
enclosed openings (i.e. "A", "B", "D", "O", etc.). It seems to me there ought
to be a more efficient means of converting these.
Help, please!!!

Hi Jeremy:

Good question. The easiest way to do this would be to export your work from
CorelDRAW! to the TrueType (TTF) file format, then use Visual Font to extrude
and bevel. I'll upload the detailed information to our library section, it
should help you through this multi-step process.
BTW, Renderize Live 3.2, scheduled for shipment before the end of the year,
will import and extrude AI files directly, to the CorelDRAW-to-Renderize Live
connection will be even tighter.
I hope this information proves useful. Let me know.
