CREATING 3D TEXT

• Unique 3D Engine.
Type a text in Art Text, and watch it instantly create a 3D model from a user-chosen typeface.

• Bump Map Technology.
Add and fine-tune bumps and wrinkles on a 3D text surface to simulate the natural roughness of brick, ice, rust metal, etc.

• Reflection Mask Tool.
Maximize surface roughness authenticity with Reflection Mask, which defines reflective and non-reflective areas. It is especially useful for rusty, decayed or scratched surfaces.

• Environment Textures.
Environment texture is a great way to simulate reflections from external sources.

• Light Options.
Control the way 3D text is lit by moving spotlights and changing light colors.

• 200+ Material Presets.
Creating high-quality 3D typography is simplified with material presets. Each preset is an exclusive combination of texture, bump map, environment and light options.

• Soft Shadow.
Activating the shadow option will drop the natural shadow of a 3D text object.

• Glow Effect.
The 3D glow effect makes bright surface areas literally radiate.

• Parallel Projection.
See how 3D object view transitions from Perspective to Parallel projection instantly.

• Facebook 3D Photo
Export 3D text in the format suitable for Facebook 3D Photo.
