Hi! A newbie question. I am doing an animated logo in Poser 6 for a film company. Does anyone know how to add text, fonts in Poser. I need to animate the name of the company along with some figures.
Very grateful for any suggestions.

This is a free tool, creates models in DXF format from any TTF font..

Now, I just can't remember if DXF can be imported into Poser..

You can also use Wings3D or Blender to do that, too. They're both capable of exporting in OBJ format, which should import into Poser pretty well. They're both mesh modelling programs, so they do a lot more than text, too. Of the two, Wings is much easier to get up to speed on, and Blender has a lot more options for the look and quality of the text. Both of them can use TrueType fonts, so you've got an almost infinite selection of text styles.
