I want to create my own 3d Font. Could someone please describe how to. Thanks.

Download a copy of superdings, open it up in pencil. Then model your own letters / models that you want for each letter and use the obj2bmdl converter to make them into BMDL's. Go through the pencil file and manually change each letter to your new model.

For the love of god be sure to retitle and re-ID it before trying to use it. This includes the "hidden" ID via view/edit in the .3th file, which everyone and their grandmother misses.

Haha, after I posted it, I was thinking... hope he knows to re - ID it... Yeah, he's smart enough
