Clicking lowercase "e" causes a big gray box to appear at the bottom. Try this now, and see what extrusion matches your tastes. By clicking and moving the mouse to the right, you increase the resolution. The capital "E" changes the overall extrusion of the letters. I have found a good trick that I often use: because of the fact that at high resolutions the purple lines get too close together to see what you are doing, I go with a low resolution while editing the letters, and then raise the resolution just before I save. I usually have a high or medium resolution. Remember, although higher resolution curves look better, they also take up more file space. Double clicking on this button resets the resolution to a middle value. Moving it to the left increases the resolution and the smoothness, while moving it to the right decreases it. The "Q", just below the "T", is a slider to change the resolution of the curves. There are many other buttons on the side. I selected a font called "Ravie", you may have different fonts installed on your system, and therefore, different choices. This will bring you to a font selector similar to that found in "Microsoft Office" programs (see Figure 4). (All further "clicking" will be with, unless I say otherwise). You can finally edit the font! Click on the top "T" with. By double clicking with, you get to the default (home) screen. allows you to change the zoom of the screen, by moving your mouse up and down, and, if you move your mouse sideways while holding it, you can move the screen in either direction. will allow you to move around in the 3d view, just like allows you to do in Blender. Now that you have your words, try to move around in the view screen to familiarize your self with its controls. Do not worry if the style is not the same as shown, that can be changed. You should see the word "Blender," slightly extruded, in the middle screen (see Figure 3). Click on it, and a blinking cursor will appear that tells you it is ready. Try typing something like "Blender" to the main text editor, which is the small white box at the top. When you open Elefonts, after extracting the file, you will reach a screen similar to this (see Figure 2).
Blender change font size of 3d text download#
Elefonts will notify you if your system is missing it, and it is available for download from the same site as Elefonts. In case you do not have mfc42.dll, you will also need to download it.

Blender change font size of 3d text zip#
It comes as a zip file, and needs no installation. The final result will be similar to the figure at right (see Figure 1). It is fairly easy to get a hand of the program I am sure that you will have no problem with it.

I would like to give credit to Armin MFCller, who wrote the program. The actual text mesh is created in another program, called Elefont. This text can be used in renderings for signs, mailboxes, etc., as well as in games. In this tutorial, you will learn the basic steps of creating text in Blender.
