I have just uploaded a pdf document, Bunko.pdf, to the Files section of the
forum. It describes a work flow process for producing 3D Glyphs which extend
Mesh, and can easily be used in your Away View3D presentations -- with or
without animation. This IS NOT a replacement for Li's TextField, for which we
all eagerly await. It is an AIR application which automates extraction of font
outlines and creation of extruded shapes. Included with the application, if
you would like to freely use it, are source-code examples of integration with
the most current Sandy API and the Flash_10 branch of Away.
