Join Ellery Connell for an in-depth discussion in this video The Text tool, part of Learning MODO 601.
In this video we'll have a look at the text tool. …And we'll see its uses, its strengths and also its limitations in places where you …would want to use something else in place of the text tool in creating your 3D type. …This is very, very simple in its implementation. …If you want to get more complex than this I would really recommend doing something …like creating your text in Illustrator. Exporting an EPS file, and then you can …actually open EPS files directly inside of Modo. …So, right now I have text here and this is going to be what's actually going to …display, so I say hello. I've got Adobe Garamond Pro chosen as my …font, my size 1 meter, which should fit in there pretty nicely.…
You have good options for where you want to locate this based off of where you …click Justification. We'll justify it to center. …And then you can choose to split on lines, words or characters here. …So let's go ahead and just dot click in my front view and there is my text, hello. …You can see it here in 3D space as well. So these all have text faces. …
