Creating 3D text
To create 3D text, you first create 2D text and then convert the text to 3D.
To create 3D text:
1 |
Choose Window > Text to open the text editor. |
2 |
Choose the font, size, style, and alignment you want. |
Most standard fonts work well with 3D text. You may need to experiment to get the results you want. |
|
3 |
Enter the text. (You will still be able to edit the text after you've entered it.) |
4 |
Drag the text cast member onto the Stage. |
You can either drag the cast member from the Cast window or drag the Drag Cast Member button next to the Name field in the Text window. |
|
5 |
Click the Property Inspector icon in the Director 8.5 toolbar. |
6 |
Click the Text tab. |
7 |
Choose 3D Mode from the Display pop-up menu.
|
8 |
The text on the screen changes to 3D. You can now work with it as discussed in Modifying 3D text. |
