Mesh Alphabet

[mahem1]

I wanted to put some text on my map and just wanted to see if anyone has made the whole alphabet.
Just a basic letter in a group would be fine and I will just group the groups into word.
So if anyone has any type of thing like that I wouldn't mind you sharing it with me (and the rest of the forums)
Or show me how to get BZW for blender.

I would do it myself on blender but I can't seem to get the BZFlag object part installed properly.
I know blender has a text to mesh option, if only I could get it installed properly.

I search the forums for it found BZWord but it is "currently unavailable".

Thanks!

I'm thinking that Wings3D can do that, but it's been a while since I played with any modeling software. I could be thinking of Blender.

wings3d does letters and numbers.

yeah I know wings3d and blender and a host of other 3d modelling programs can do that.
But I just have a problem with converting the .obj to .bzw .
There is BZWTools for blender and a BZW converter for wings3d I have tried and failed to use these.
I just don't know how to convert the file over.

Well, Wings3D can export directly to BZW...

For an example of mesh letters generated by hand see my reimplementation of the Pillbox map at BRL.ARPA.NET:5156. The letters are positioned to be visible when you join but have not spawned for the first time. The alphabet is far from complete.

Wings 3D will allow you to make letters in any font and export them directly to BZW. What more could you need?

Yeah I got it down now thanks for the help!!
