Yoy can't make 3d text in poser, I guess you could try using primatives but that would be difficult. Your best bet would be to use a modeling program, there are several out there and some are free like "Wings and Blender", you can create the text in there and export to PS.

download one of the freebie poser texts from freestuff here. cs3 is for viewing and texturing. I dunno if the modelling plug-in is available yet.

Attached Link: Elefont

This is a free program that will allow you to load an ordinary Font file, and then export a 3D Mesh of it.  It has a handsome 3D GUI, and some options for exporting!

I have never been able to get Elefont to work for me.

I've been using it for 4-5 year now, never with a problem!

Look how smooth the tops of the letters are, this is 100x better than the Bryce Terrain editor.

I must be doing something wrong but I have no idea what.
