Hi GP, nice technique, thanks for sharing.

You're right and I appreciate the heads up

@ cshez I did a comparison and X3D has 35 bevel types and XP&GD, 9&10,and XDPX have 27. of these 27 all are the same as those in the X3D programs. I rarely use the X3D programs anymore but there are tunes when they are better at certain things. For instance the X3D programs allows you to create screen savers, and also have many animation types which the Xtreme series of programs do not seem to possess. On the other hand the Xtreme series makes a few things possible that are not using the X3D programs. So the two compliment each other.

Here is an example of 3d text given bitmap fills, done in DPX10 64bit (but could be done in earlier 32bit versions) I used very nearly the same technique as gamerprinter. I've attached my .xar (which includes two seamless textures) for anyone who would like to disect it for learning purposes.

Larry thanks very much for your check, so the X3D has more bevel types and there are some differences comparing to XDPX10, good to know

You are most welcome cshez. Today has not been a very good day for me so glad to see your reply.
