This is exactly how you do it. There are some special characters that you can use with copy-paste, there's loads of them if you google it. And people make stuff with them.

ChadHachey [2010-04-07 17:56:32 +0000 UTC]

Great tutorial, but one thing bothers me. There doesn't seem to be a light source, all of the sides are the same color, and each side should have a different shade. Because of this the text doesn't quite look 3D, or maybe I'm just colorblind

Anyway awesome job, really diggin' these tutorials.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

vanmall In reply to ChadHachey [2010-04-07 18:42:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Before I started I decided not to add light source and do it with same colors.
And thank you.

uuhh i'm not good with curves, but the result it's too awesome to not try it. Thanks for the tutorial, I love it <3 Do you think it's possible to change the texture with a wooden type?

Thank you.
Take what ever texture you like, wood should work fine. I can get the base text from my tutorial if you don't want to try it yourself. Build a wood texture on top of it.
