Making 3D Text

It’s rather difficult to attract the web audience to your website and make them stay longer there. Developers and designers always have to invent something new. And an animated logo certainly does catch the eye. This tutorial shows you how to create a moving 3D text logo with Papervision.

The author took the inspiration for this post from the Windows “3D Text” screensaver. From the demo you can see that this Papervision application is showing the time. However the code presented here could be easily extended to display any sort of text message, and because it is fully rendered in 3D you can move and interact with it in real time any way you want. Demo and the source code are included as always. Enjoy!
