3D Typography
- February 25th, 2008.
Having looked at the specification for the Xara3D; to produce high quality 3D graphics I was amazed to see that it is not yet available for Mac. Although, looking a bit further, I came across Cheetah3D.
Seamless Mac OS X integration:
“Accept no substitute. Cheetah3D has been written FROM THE GROUND UP for Mac OS X using Cocoa.”
So, I have downloaded the trial version, I must admit, it is quite addictive. Below is what I achieved with my very first attempt, using spline modelling, creating outlines in Illustrator, then exporting as a SVG. Quality lacks as it is a trial will not allow to save or export, therefore I have captured the screen.
