Vladimir,
Thanks for the reply, I'll test that out ASAP. I'm sure I tried that but maybe I
screwed up.
No, you cannot set a texture to Text3D objects as the geometry generation routines
internally do not generate texture coordinates. Unfortunately there is not way to
access the internal geometry either...
Perhaps when SUN revise the API to allow the ability to control the tesselation of
text they can expose some of its internal geometry?
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman
