Font23D is a C++ library for creating a 3d mesh of any Text in the given True type font.
Steps:
- The Library uses FreeType Library to decode the fonts and converts the Text into Vector.
- Then the vector data is converted into triangles using Ploy2Tri library.
- This gives us the triangles of the complete text in a plane.
- The plane is then extruded into 3d object and then creates a closed mesh.
- The Mesh is then rendered using OpenGL.
Plans for Future:
- Allow Option to export the Mesh into OBJ file.
- Add Support for Unicode text.
