What is Elefont: (It's just cool ! )
Elefont is a free tool to create 3D text objects from TTF fonts (ELEvated-FONTSs).
They are generated into DXF-files which you can import for example into BRYCE
rendering software. It is equiped with a funny non standard GUI. I developed
it to create nice landscape pictures together with texts. You can also use it
to create free scaleable texts from TTF fonts in a CAD system.
Some use it together with Lightwave. ("This does a much better job than
the text plugin included with Lightwave", Dave Edens).
The models can also be saved for PovRay/Moray.
System requirements:
Windows XP/2000/NT 4.0/95/98 (Sorry, I don't program Macs)
A graphic card with at least 65536 colors at min. 640x480 resolution . (Graphic
freaks know why)
The Microsoft Foundation Classes DLL Version 4.2 (in system32 directory named
MFC42.DLL)
And of course a rendering software which can import 3D DXF objects. (Bryce works
best)
It was developed on a WindowsNT 4.0 system with a 233 MHz, Pentium II, 128
MB RAM and a normal 4MB graphic card.
How to get it:
Download zipped ELEFONTx.ZIP (242 KB) (all GUI pictures are built in!)
Download zipped MFC42.ZIP (442KB) (if necessary)
(Almost unbelievable that the whole application fits on half a floppy!)
