Sorry this project is closed for now, unfortunetly the source is gone due to a crash.
You can still use the image2object creator for making similiar objects.
The source in image2object was the core code for this project.
This program did everything including circular words, and texture mapping it with 3 styles of overlay.
It stretched it evenly, or it tiled each letter with the map, or it stretched it to fit x y.
The texture was directly inputed into the vertice xyz points color data...no need for x_settexture.
The way it worked was it read in a smalfont.png, then with some math it built an object out of the text input.
It made a cube for each pixel in the sentance$ input.
You were able to select a color for the object with a color map.
It was scalable, and it was able to make the words go into a circle, the font downside pointing inwards of the circle. And the circle was scalable too.
Making this object flat or thick with a scalar was possible...also if you made it 0 thickness..it was set to make shadows too.
All the 3d object creation options were available.
Im sad i lost this code :(
If someone wants to try whipping up a new one....you may have the image2object code to do so freely.
Just let me know youre going to give it a shot, ill help you.

Oh! Very tricky.
:good:
NICE :good:
<-- wants more :nw:
Just checked out the demo. At the risk of sounding as old as I am: That's seriously cool! I can imagine quite a few people here looking forward to being able to play with this library. =D
Edit: I just tried out the other CPRINT demo as well. I'm really looking forward to being able to play with this library. :good:
BTW it's common courtesy to tell people that your program is going to need to access a website to determine whether or not it's still in beta before they find out themselves when they get a pop-up from one of their firewalls. I don't like it when a program goes accessing anything on the net without asking me first. Others may not as well, so it might be a good idea to inform people somewhere at the top of this thread. :)
That aside, it is very cool. I like it. :) I'm guessing this is going to be shareware/commercial?

Thanks for the heads up =D
Nice demo :good:
Very nice bud, has lots of possibilities and its quite fast, even on my old laptop. Well done! :)
Hello.Nice to meet you again.I have a solution for your problem.You can still use the image2object creator for making similiar objects.

Yup, thats why i left that code posted.
image2object is actually a piece of this font creator...pretty powerful by itself.
The code for i2o, is open sourced.
