I needed astrogical signs in 3D for a personal project but couldn't find any in poser, dxf or any other format importable into poser. I have a great font already with the symbols I need but when I tried using the programs PFE and Elefont, the export formats either were not supported by Poser or Bryce or I got an error when trying to import them. Any ideas?

Anim8or has a font extrude feature - it's a free modeller which may be useful for other stuff too. It can export directly in OBJ, which would be best for Poser.Message edited on: 06/13/2005 07:17

Also, Wings3d is a crossplatform option. It has Adobe Illustrator 8 (AI) import capabilities.

I've tried various 3d programs including shade and anim8or. Some of the letters are OK, however letters like R, P etc that "have holes in them" do not import into Poser properly and the holes get filled in. Does anyone know how to stop or get around this. I usully export them to obj.

Hrm, ok fonts can be converted to 3d in just about any modeling program...any way to change the default font the the one I need? I have Anim8tor, Wings 3d and and older version of Rhino at hand...no idea what CD holder my copies of Amorphium or whatever old modelers I have are at right now. o_O.
