[stygg2003]

Nothing as good as mwenz Gary, just used the planer shapes pic to practice more with the mould tool.

Bernie, Mike, stygg, all excellent and imaginative examples!

Stygg, you want to lose the "drop shadow" behind the red letters. They confuse the viewer's eye mostly because they don't represent the lighting angle in the image...they fight it.

Rik, would you like to try to show us all how the PMS, and L letters might look extruded, or pushed into, the dodecahedron?

You're good at this sort of stuff!

Well done, all around!

Thanks for contributing!

Had fun playing with the perspectives in this picture. I used some of Angelize's decorative curves on the Xone billboard. The banner is a bit too bright but I did not want to redo the whole thing. Thanks for the tut, Gare.

and here's one from me
bottle caps and bloody murderous slaughter
all in the space of an afternoon
must be a slow day...

Changed the letters to extrudes, not very good I'm afraid so come on Rik your a master at this sort of work, show us how it's done.

And here is my attempt at adding 3D text.

Some wishes for this. I cannot get predictable results picking color off another object when setting the fill, line or light colors. They always need adjusted, unlike 2D objects.

You're welcome and except for the sticker on the car being too bright, you did some magnificent stuff, both creatively and technically in the image.

In fact, the banner you did gives me an idea for the Tips and Tricks for August: how to put text on wafting fabric.

There is a way I've discovered that is fairly simple and very effective.

Well done, boy.

My Best,

Thanks for the positive feedback, Gare.

Looking forward to the next tips & tricks.
