Booleaning Text

[nathaniliov]

Does anybody have any tuts concering this. I am having heaps of trouble with it.

Try to add a tesselate modifier to your extruded text before applying any booleans. This could reduce some errors, if not all.

Thanks Buddy!

Tessalate doesent work. I dont think it's possible to boolean text!

just create a plane bigger than the text and trace the text using the cut tool and keeping all 4 points in the mesh then extrude this. this method allows you to apply a meshsmooth modifer etc... without max crashing

This is what I am referring too.
