This was an experiment just to see what kind of result I would get from from slicing a 2D map of my initials and placing each slice tangent to a cylinder and extruding into it. I used 12 slices and wrapped them approximately 180 degrees. The result was okay. I suppose it could be made better by usin…

OKAY!? This is AMAZING!! Not OKAY!!

Thank you. I say it’s okay because the slices don’t mate perfectly in the relief. In fact, they don’t mate perfectly with the project tool either, but the result is reasonably good for art work. I think if a 2D map was divided into small enough pieces, a good result could be achieved. Any 2D artwor…

I think there is an easier way to do this. [16 December 2020] [image]

Can you please tell me what app you use to export text ? I’m unable to find an app that can do it neither in DWG nor DXF. :frowning_face:

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes that way is easier.
The reason I tried the method I used was to be able to wrap some artwork around a cylinder with minimal distortion.
Thank you for sharing the font.
