Is it possible to carve a text on an object

[vanik.121290]

Hi
I have a task to carve a text on an object in Unity game engine.
This may be a stupid question so sorry for that
Is it possible to write a Rhino script that will do that ?
Like create a script that is receiving the object in fbx format and text mesh in fbx format and returning modified object in fbx format?
It must be a 3D printable object.

Hello Vanik,

Are you looking for something like this:

“etch” text to the inside surface of an oval

Hello, I am trying to “etch” text to the inside surface of an oval ( closed solid polysurface) shown below in the top clipping plane view: [Untitled-1] How please can one do this ? I have tried a number of approaches but they have not worked. Thank you, Andy Litwin

Thank you,

Andy

Hi Andy.
Thank you very much for response.
It seems that yes I’m looking for something like that.
One thing though.
In that example was advised to resolve text overlapping.
Does that mean that i will be limited by font?

Hello Vanik,

You are welcome. I do not think that this will limit the font you use. But rather just that if you use a “fancy” font / typeface like I did you might run into the same issue, Maybe ask Pascal ?

Thank you,

Andy

Hello - In general font curves are not of high enough quality for 3d surfacing - some are worse than others but once you get your text curves, you will want to spend some time carefully cleaning up intersections and self-intersections at least before making any surfaces.
