ChiefUserBigRob 16 Posted January 13 hey guys and gals, a couple years ago i made a simple sign and cannot remember nor find the article on high i did it step by step. it was a business sign. it did not contain any 3d lettering. what i do remember was making a rectangle polyline sold and somehow was able to overlay the name on the sign from a bitmap or something. it came out great and added it to my business project i was working. any tips on how this is done?

Chopsaw 661 Posted January 13 Sure if you have an image of an existing sign you can make that into a material and apply it to a p-solid. You can also create 3D letters from p-solids or even use some of the symbols from the Chief Library. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glennw 1030 Posted January 13 Or..... you can use the Create Billboard Image tool. It saves making a material. The billboard will display in a rendered view as long as textures are toggle on. It will display in a vector view with patterns toggled on or off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
