[SIMPLE TUT]How to make 3D text in C4D

Ok first what you want to do is get your Text in the Mograph on the top section. Then Change your Depth to whatever you like, i like using 35. Then line you camera up so its facing the front of the text:

Then what your gunna wanna do is go into the EDIT on the middle RIGHT hand side and click COPY then PASTE.

Then Click on your Motext.1 and go over to the "CAPS" option and on the Start section your going to want to change it to "FILLET CAP" Then change the RADIUS to around 7, Then do the EXACT same method for the END.[img]http://i.minus.com/iH6NyJGNZO8Vn.png[/img]

Ok now what you want to do is click on the MoText.1 then Rotate your camera so its facing the text sideways (Look at the picture). Then what your gunna do is click the blue Arrow and move it to The right so it is a LITTLE bit behind the first text, you will see what i mean when you start moving it.

Then go to the bottom left hand side. Click "Create" and go to "New material" There you can Set your colors and do whatever you would like to them and experiment with the differnt options.
OR
You can go on youtube and type in "C4D material Packs and just go through there and they should show you how to install it.

This is my first guide ive ever done hope this isnt to hard to understand. It was semi hard to explain but if you guys have any questions PM me!
I guess its good that you took the time to make this, but all you do is add text and rotate it and BAM you have 3D text. And you can just change the caps to fillet and you are done. Good effort?

I know its simple but ive seen a few people that dont even know how to do this so i just did it as a very new guide for C4D begginers
It's simple (really, really simple) but I guess it's a good text tutorial for the beginners.
