Does anyone have any numerals in Bryce or obj format?
I'm looking for models of the numbers 1, 2, & 3.
Appreciate any links if you have them of actualt objects.
Thanks for reading!

Elefont is what you want. Creates most type faces and imports into Bryce as .dxf.staigermanus posted Sun, 29 January 2012 at 12:18 PM
Any particular font? edge conditions?? Easy to make in Carrara with the text tool. Then export to OBJ after conversion to vertex object. I think that should work. Let me try with the VErdana font.

3 different fonts.. 1-Impact.. 2-Arial Italic.. 3- Sylfaen
It's very easy to get the numbers into Wings & they can be smoothed to look better then these. Not sure how much fun doing the uv's for them would be tho'.
I can do them for you if you want..

See if this one works?

I used Carrara 6 Pro in this case (I have other versions on other computers). The OBJ header says C5 but it's C6. Anyway, used the Text tool in Carrara to insert the number 1 (one), using Verdana as the font, bevelled both front and back, and selected Bold style.
Then converted the object to another primitive type, choosing of course vertex object. Removed lights and camera from the scene and saved the whole as Wavefront .OBJ file. (without material). Even though it didn't appear to save the material file, it seems to map vertex texture (vt) coordinates into the file. SHouldn't hurt, and could be useful later if you add texture.
Let us know if you are able to use it as intended in Bryce?
I can make 2 and 3, if you can specify the desired font, style (bold, italic) and beveling preferences.

PS:
I enjoyed this little getaway, I've been playing with rotoscoping in Dogwaffle and morphing shape curves used for animated brush strokes. It's good to do 3D inbetween :-)

You can do it in Bryce as well using a solid white pic of each number on a separate solid black background as the source for a Bryce lattice.

I hope this works for you.

Photoshop and the terrain editor do it for me. Save as obj. Otherwise in B6.3 presets create>object> signman set 2.

These are in the freebie section here..I think it's the pack I have (can't remember to be honest but it sounds like it)..I installed them into DAZ Studio, then I just import them via the Bridge.

Do you still need these Numbers in Bryce? if so let me know and I will make you some in an .br6 file or .obp if you are interested they would be made in Boolean form.
Cheers

Also, Hexagon can do 3d text from any font (as can most modeling programs). I just figured I'd mention that since Hexagon is now free for the time being.
