No, that's true it can't export 3d data. That's why I was pointing out that if all he was looking for was a pre-rendered picture of the text or a rotating lit animation then 2d might be an option. If he needed model data then Serif Impactplus (no longer produced - but exports to .x) or Ulead Cool 3D Production studio (no longer produced - but exports to 3ds or .x) would have been totally simple and perfect for automatic extrusion and bevelling. I wouldn't recommend something like Cool 3D production studio for modelling something complicated, but for automatic extrusion of items it's pretty hard to beat. It was like modeling for dummies (perfect for me) :) I will never get rid of my copy. It's fun and useful, and people still use it for DVD menu animations today.

Hello

just wanna say, that VUE (i got 7 infinity) has a nice and easy to use 3d text editor, it can also handle eps and AI files.
you can choose presets or custom bevel profiles.

and there are cheap versions available (starting at 0:-))

and vue can export 3d geomtrie (the 0$ version not:-)

Another reason why Carrara is such a good companion app to MoI!

I'm sorry for forgetting about Carrara, Brian. You're right that request was totally in Carrara's area of expertise. I just bought that Daz book about figures and avatars (just for the Carrara 6 and hexagon) just a bit ago too.

Thank you so much to every one.
MoI is the best software, but it also as the best support and the best community.

I can't imagine big software company support, like autodesk, answering : "we tried the software xara3D" and give explanation about polygon and nurbs.

I tested Carrara text tool, which is very good, but haven't test "VUE" yet.

Thanks again to every one, I now just have to choose the best solution.
