I was hoping to do this all in Mathematica but this is how I got the plot
points.
Adobe Illustrator 11.0 CS
Open New Document
Select Text Tool
Select Font Caflisch Script Pro TrueType Regular PointSize 96pt
Create TextArea enter "Thanks"
Select textArea and Convert to Outline
Remove Default Fill
Stroke Color Black Weight 1pt
Select Outline Export to
AutoCad DXF Release 13 Check Save Selection only.
Close Adobe Illustrator
Open 3D Studio Max
Import (Place) previously saved DXF file in 3D Studio Max
Rotate flat object 90 degrees to give it some presence on the Z axis.
Export Selected Object as 3DS format
Close 3DSudio Max
The folks at Wolfram provide 3DS import
thanks = Import["ExportedFileFrom3DS.3DS","VertexData"][[1]]
ListPointPlot3D[thanks]
I tried using
Graphics3D[
Text[Style["Thanks", 96, FontFamily -> "Script"], {0, 0, 0}] ]
But this does not export as the text information regardless of where you
place it is still 2D data.
I did not have time to play around with either Manipulate or Animate
What I really wanted to do was a "light-it-up" effect by selecting each
point and creating a lit fuse effect, that's why I chose a script font. I
had the idea, just around the time my graphics card fizzled, it took a week
to replace it. By then the post was getting old. So I went with what I could
do in less than 5 mins. Which meant no time to solve this within
Mathematica. I recall seeing some Outline font drawn from graphic primitives
in a Mathematica publication could not remember where.
I was hoping someone could take off with the basics and do something fancy.
So if anyone can figure how to do this in Mathhematica this would be my
first question in this newsgroup and it is kinda technical!
This is a great newsgroup and I appreciate the fact that it is moderated.
