I’ve updated my 3d text component a bit, performance should now be a bit better. Furthermore, you can now choose any font you’ve installed on your system (just to prove that they are real fonts). See it in action:

Ow and by the way: right click to see the source and find out how it’s done.

The source seems to be fucked up, here’s the relevant code: http://experiments.flexperiments.nl/3dtext2/srcview/source/experiments/flexperiments/text3d/Text3dFXApp.as.html



What others have to say:

Congratulations Fabrice.
Away3D is the best!

How does this even work?
I understand this: http://www.lidev.com.ar/demos/textfield3d/extrusions/srcview/index.html

But not your example. I like that you don’t have to load a font.

It’s a textfield with the selected font. Then, a bitmap is created from the textfield which is applied to a 3d plane.

Cool, I will start using away 3d from no on.
Thanx,
