An old version of Truespace (Version 3, and now also Version 4, I think) is available for free in many locations. It will make text from any font, and save the file in the .cob format which can easily be imported into Vue. You must triangulate your font phrase before saving and importing into Vue, however. (The Truespace copy will let you triangulate the font.) This is what is wrong with the .dxf file shown above - it is improperly triangulated. Guitta's Deep Exploration fixes the poor triangulations when she converts it. The simple little Wings3D file conversion program will also let you fix this triangulation mess, and its a lot cheaper ($39USD)than Deep Exploration. The Truespace program will let you apply various textures, bevel the edges of the fonts, and so forth before you save them, and then import them into Vue. I believe a copy of Version 3 is posted for downloading at www.caligari.com. However, if anyone has difficulty locating the free copies of Truespace, please let me know and I'll post it (them) for downloading from my web site.
