Hi peter,
Yes, manipulating text3D is very hard for morphing purpose... I think I'll try to implement your idea (using a texture (text texture) and apply it on morphing shapes).
I'll let you know about the result.
You can see the first implementation at

Hi Franck
I use GeometryArrays, but nothing as complicated as text. On first thought it should be possile to build the individual letters from strips, quads and fans using GeometrArrays, but not practically feasible. What about applying the text as texture to a simple object defined by GeometryArray and the text will morph when you morph the object....or will it.

Subject: [JAVA3D] Text3D morphing
Hi,
I'd like to apply a morph behavior on a Text3D object.
To do so, I need to convert my Text3D object (which derives from Geometry class) to a GeometryArrayobject.
Do you know how to create a GeometryArrayobject from a text3D?
Do you know if it's possible to apply a morph behavior on a text3D object?
Thanks to help me on this one.
Any feed back would be appreciated.
Franck
