Hi, Can anyone suggest a Debian repo-installable program to create 3D text? I'll do CAD if I must, but I haven't touched the stuff for years (and I was never very knowledgeable or skilled). Thanks. -- Carl Fink nitpicking@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!

Openshot (openshot-qt) brings in both Blender AND Inkscape as a one-two punch. Thank you, Developers! They're an interesting set. For rendering 3D text, I just tried this query: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=inkscape+3d+text Some of those videos are aurally hard to understand *for me*. I've never done so, but I've read about downloading Youtube videos. One could do that then slow the videos WAY down to more easily see what's being clicked for each step. I'm not sure of copyright in going that route, though... This video stood out in the few I watched this morning. Very cool stacking with hints for fast aesthetic repairs, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYbHh3A0VNQ It might be worthwhile to view quite a few because I'm seeing single tips in each that aren't in others. Like this one for block text 3D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axStBxie-vo GIMP was mentioned as an alternative a couple times in what I sampled. A similar search might bring up some fun stuff there, too. AND for Blender, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GR0takbq2s WOW, COOL on this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS3aRmcohn8 I'm personally going to try that one next. I'm seeing even more new, very handy looking tips there, specifically about alignment.. Hope this helps.. someone. :) PS THANK YOU for asking this question. I've been looking for a way to turn a real image into a more generic line drawing. This morning's search incidentally also suggested a video that teaches just that via the PhotoAdvanced channel (separate sibling to PhotoAdvanced2). Additional note that just came to mind for newbies, newcomers: I THINK I remember Inkscape occasionally not being available for installation. That might have been about Unstable installs. That happens, is just part of the game plan when packages aren't quite ready yet. We just have to wait or find an alternative method for installation, then.

You might try gimp ....
$ apt show gimp
Google-ize ...
gimp 3d text
There will be a learning curve
but 3d text variations seem
virtually endless

I meant text as a 3d object. GIMP makes flat images showing rendered text, but does not obviously have a way to export OBJ or GLB files. I actually did it with Blender before anyone on this list answered. I am confirmed in my opinion that Blender is enormously feature-rich and has the usability of controlling a jet aircraft by sending human messengers to adjust the control surfaces with a screwdriver. Wow, that interface is nonsense. -- Carl Fink nitpicking@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
