This app is both a comprehensive test framework for my new triangulated 3D font library and an interactive designer that lets you visually customise text to your specific requirements. You can dynamically adjust various font parameters including different shapes, spacings and extrusions. Use the sliders and controls in the top-left of the app to interactively change settings. If you are keen, you can also enter your own text and export the resulting geometry as an OBJ, STL or PLY file.

3D Text Effect Logo Generator. It's a free online 3D logo generator that makes easy to design 3D letters and words to your 3D logo or banner. This online 3D text maker app offers several rendering styles, you have great control over 3D text colors, the 3D text banners are rendered with anti-aliasing and you can optionally customize your cool 3D text logo with a useful transparent background. Aurora 3D Text & Logo Maker (Aurora3DMaker on Mac App Store) will allow even the technically inexperienced to quickly and effortlessly compose and arrange strikingly beautiful and impressive 3D Graphics, high-quality text, and logos. Do you have pressing needs to finish your design project quickly and easily? Then don’t look any further! Download this 3D animation software for free.

I wrote this because I really needed to see and experiment with various font shapes, and to thoroughly stress test and optimise the code. Also, automated unit tests can’t really give the same qualitative feedback as actually seeing what different blocks of text look like as various metrics are dynamically adjusted.

This library forms a core part of my tutorial scripting API and is used by the 3D model annotation library as well as several WebGL charts and graphs.

Why 3D Vector Fonts

Whilst the typical approach to 3D text is to texture map font glyphs onto transparent flat surfaces, this is tricky to get looking good especially with large fonts or when you zoom in, and is not totally suited to the kinds of dynamic and animated model annotation I want to be doing.

I had been using my own line-based vector font library for a while, but Chrome version 57 onwards stopped supporting line widths greater than 1 pixel in WebGL on all platforms, regardless of the capabilities of the underlying graphics hardware. As Chrome is one of the most popular browsers at the moment, and single pixel lines on retina and other high resolution displays can barely be seen, I needed to sort something out quickly.

Hence it was out with the graph paper and a couple of days spent refreshing my trigonometry to see what I could come up with.

Designing a dynamic 3D font is way harder than it looks. Standard digital font files use separate glyphs for different weights and italicised versions of each character, whereas I wanted those to just be parameters. Once you parameterise things, all sorts of customisations become possible within the bounds of the basic font shape.

There are still a few configurations of font weight and aspect ratio that cause some self-intersection in one or two glyphs, however on the whole I’m pretty happy with the results. Moreover, it has thus far proved surprisingly fast and quite memory efficient.

How to create 3D text

1. Open 3D editor.
2. Click on the Object in the header and select “3D font” (T icon) from the toolbar.
3. Edit the 3D font in the properties panel on the right.
4. Add lights to the scene, change the environment, materials or add more objects from the library.
5. Adjust the view and press the render toggle to see it with lights and shadows
6. Download your 3D typography scene as PNG in the “Render” tab in the header or export a 3D file in the “Export” tab.
7. Share your design or invite team members on the “Dashboard” to give you feedback in the form of the 3D comment.

Tip: Change the text at any time during the creative process. When you convert it to geometry in the properties panel, the text can’t be rewritten. However, you can edit each of the letters separately in the “Edit” mode.

Tip2: Need a custom font? Import your text as an SVG file and convert it to 3D easily.
