Alphabet Prims/Textures!

Ok, sometimes I just want to make a quick and dirty sign, like "Under Contruction" or "We've Moved" and I don't feel like loading up Photoshop to do it.

What if there was a way to create text in SL as both 3D prims and/or 2D textures? Sometimes I'd rather have a 3D sign with the letters being made up of prims rather than using a texture, but it would be a pain to manually create 3D characters all the time. So add an ABC icon in the EDIT menu that opens a little text input, you type what you want, and text shaped prims are created.

On the other side, how about the ability to create text textures in game as well?

there is a 3D alphabet in game from the short lived Linden game. Someone here will remember who had it. There is also an ingame texture alphabet, also Linden created, that I got a copy of at the free bazaar. Not exactly what you wanted but will serve the same purpose without reprogramming anything.

Ahh, yeah, I guess that's true. Just having the entire alphabet in inventory would work. Hehehe, sometimes the easy solutions ARE the best ones!

I created a dynamic ticker sign. It can scroll various messages across it. If interested, talk to me IM.
