a little code i made in my spare time. it is not really that 3d but in a 3d envirorment

+ Code Snippet

`3D TEXT

`sync
sync on
sync rate 30

`create a text to put on
`you can change the text to whatever
`change the get image to fit the text in it
set text size 30
text 0,0,"Hello!"
get image 1,0,0,80,25

`get a 3D object to texture the text on
make object plain 1,5,1
texture object 1,1

`since the background is black i can make it transparent so you don't see it
`strangly my transparency had to be set to 1 to get it transparent
`so if the black is not transparent set the transparency to 0
set object 1,1,1,0

`loop
do
`turn object
turn object left 1,2
sync
loop

Only one little comment:

you set object command isn't right.
it's "set object 1,1,0,1" instead of set object 1,1,1,0

Quote: "When the transparency flag is set to 0, all parts of the object colored black are not drawn to the screen. "

Well here is a version for DBPro which make it transparent and has it as a nifty little function:

+ Code Snippet

`3D TEXT

`sync
sync on
sync rate 30

`create a text to put on
`you can change the text to whatever
`change the get image to fit the text in it
set text size 30
GetImageFromText(1,"Andrew Neale")

`get a 3D object to texture the text on
make object plain 1,5,1
texture object 1,1

`since the background is black i can make it transparent so you don't see it
`strangly my transparency had to be set to 1 to get it transparent
`so if the black is not transparent set the transparency to 0
set object cull 1,0
set object transparency 1,2

`loop
do
`turn object
turn object left 1,2
sync
loop

function GetImageFromText(Image,TextToUse$)
text 0,0,TextToUse$
get image Image,0,0,text width(TextToUse$),text height(TextToUse$)
endfunction
