ABSTRACT

3D text can be a very important element to add to a Scene. Text made in Blender can be easily edited in the Properties window. Text made in an external program like Elefont or one of the on-line 3D text generating programs may give one additional options and different fonts. Typing Text in Blender is a little different from typing in a text editor program. The Geometry tab has settings for shaping the text into a three dimensional object. The default Font Style is entered as Bfont as seen in the Properties window, F button, Font tab. Bfont is a Vector Font for Text Objects which is compiled into the Blender program and as such is not a standard font used in Windows or other operating systems. Blender will accept any of the Windows fonts, but some may be distorted when they are extruded into 3D shapes.
