Creating a Text Outline Effect in Blender from Kernon Dillon on Vimeo.
In this short tutorial, we'll take a look at how you can use Blender to create text outline effects. Our goal will be to have the text appear as two-dimensional printed text as opposed to 3D text.
After viewing this tutorial and studying the included references, you will be able to:
* Add text to a Blender scene and change its font
* Setup a camera to render a scene orthogonally
* Create a window to display your rendered scene using the Image Editor
* Gain control of the bevel of a curve object
* Control the anti-aliasing of your rendered scene using the OSA filters
* Create a text outline effect
* Remove shadows and lighting from an object's material
and more...
