I tested with different fonts and found that by changing fonts that I got very different looks. All the samples above are screen shots which were JPEGed. The type looks much better on NTSC with no alaising, better coloring, detail and depth. You can morph your type over time. Change the 3-D shape, style, quality, color, bump mapping, etc.
Reflection mapping is very cool.
