3 dimension text

[Lord Nelson]

Hi,

New to Affinity, how do you create 3 dimension text?

something like the attached pix.

 

Thank you.

Use "power-duplicate" of the fisrt text and move the duplicate one pixel, than hit some times cmd+j. Than you need 2 mask and 2 brushes.

First mask/brush for the eg. 99 underlaying-layers. So group them an raster. Then select it with cmd-click and create a mask. Paint with the first brush.

Then select the top-layer and paint with the second brush.

If so, maybe you first sould learn "power-duplicate".

Select a shape or text with the move tool (v). Hold cmd/strg and "move" it a little bit. AP will create a duplicate of this . Now hit several times cmd+j and you get the idea of power-duplicate.

(You can also change the first duplicate eg in size. Than this procentually size-accumalutaion will also applied to all further "duplicates".

Might be do-able, but I recall a developer saying true 3-D was not considered. At best, 2.5-D via isometric views. Various people have offered work arounds for simple 3-D seeming projections. To date, I haven't come up w. anything with which I've been really satisfied. 

I did search around dreamstime a bit, and it confirmed my supposition. The image you showed was close to others that were from 3-D apps. And I did find a 3-D .obj file of celery stalks, which is a standard used by various apps, including the freeware Blender. The image seemed to me to be celeru, w. the root end clipped off.
