How To Make 3D Signs

Here's the Elephont link.

Thanks! That will really come in handy.

You're welcome. Here's my final entrance on my on this project...

With the entry symbol you can change the material on the entry, the swoop, and the box where the lettering goes as well.

Accutrans will produce "prismatic" 3d letters, as will Sketchup. When making letters you should be wary of using complicated fonts as they may whack the polygon count up.

and if things are too strait you can always bend it.

Here is the process I use to create signage - using elefont and chief.
Hope it helps.

sketchup does a great job of 3d text..you can use any font and it will let you determine the thickness..then re-import into chief.
