3D text made with variables?

[lduncalfe]

Hi,

Can 3D text be created based on a variable instead of a member of the cast?

So, if the user submits some information with a form, their text can be displayed in 3D?

It's not only possible, it's quite easy :-) You still need a text member to
create 3D text. Assign the variable to the text member:
member('text_member').text = string(variable) Next create a model resource with
this code resource = member('3D_member').extrude3D(member('text_member' )). Set
the right properties of the resource, like tunnelDepth, bevelType, ... and next
use the resource to create the actual model. model = =
member('3D_member').newModel('model_name', resource). Don't forget to set
shaders and textures, otherwise your model may be invisible. cheers, Reznor

Thanks Reznor, I ended up achieving this along the lines you specified, by
creating text members in the cast, and re-assigning them to strings of
variables like you mentioned. I then extruded the text members into the
3Dworld.
