Real 3D Letters
Mar 1st, 2010, 3:31pm  

Hello!

Sometimes noticed that letters in 3D are less sharp when you zoom in on them

I herewith present a real 3D letter set.

Use Mouse (for PeasyCam) and Cursor up down right left and space-key (toggle auto-rotation).

Build from PeasyCam and a Code from this forum here which provided all letters of the alphabet (upper case). Thanks!

nice. i made something similar.
i used a pixelfont and drew it into a pgraphics and then parsed it using get() to check if the pixel is white or black and then drew the box.
This way i could easily load different fonts.

Hello,

Yes, I thought of that too.

I would also be nice to have real structure towards Z-axis, e.g. a round structure from the front to the back of the letters.

I did something similar with a series of images stacked on each other.

It looks the part with OPENGL but you have to turn on smoothing with P3D otherwise you get that warping that happens with P3D when you use images. However, www.openprocessing.org does not support OPENGL so the sketch uses  P3D, but if you save it to your pc and change to OPENGL you get a better effect.

New Sketch: Boxes fly and form 3D Letters

Hello!

@Cedric:

Can you post your sketch It would be cool to have a higher resolution for the letters.

I used my sketch now to build letters of boxes -
"spelling boxes" so to speak.   Wink
