1. Re: Extrude text adding new face?
Todd_Kopriva Nov 8, 2013 2:29 PM (in response to Netcommercial)Do this in Cinema 4D. A version of Cinema 4D is included with After Effects.

Netcommercial Nov 8, 2013 5:25 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)Maybe I am not sure how to turn it on or find it. I am using Cs6 not CC...

3. Re: Extrude text adding new face?
Todd_Kopriva Nov 8, 2013 6:49 PM (in response to Netcommercial)Sorry. I missed the CS6 part. Still, there is no way to retexture a 3D object in After Effects.

Netcommercial Nov 8, 2013 7:36 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)Do you know if I can do this and import from PS or will I have the same challenge as with AI in respect to simulated 3d?

Netcommercial Nov 9, 2013 8:58 AM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)Thanks you save me an hours time. Do you know if I can import from "Blender"? I have not started to play with Blender yet, was wondering if I am able to import as like with Maxon...

Netcommercial Nov 14, 2013 12:05 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)FWIW- Cs6 "Old Version" using 3Drt and a reflection layer. I am going to also try as an enviro layer and see if I get a better result. Thought this might help for those on the Old CS6 platform, who do not have $$$ for Cin4d ATM.
Bent version
You need to pre comp the RT3d beveled text as above and then you can bend it in a master or final comp, if need be. FWIW
here is using an Enviro Layer. The key is have it ACCEPT Reflections see CP for details. IF my JPG was of bigger and better rez it would be much cleaner. I suppose I could whip one up in AI or PS.
Anyways if you are trying to change the face of your font and have it extruded and beveled this will cheat it.
