This may be your gateway into 3D modeling. For some, 3D modeling, texture mapping, rendering, etc... can be overwhelming at first look. Here's a very simple tutorial for making 3D text using Wings3D on a PC.
Step 1: Download Wings 3D (for free!)
![Wings 3D - starting with 3D text Wings_10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f43/14/43/85/81/wings_10.png)
Step 2: Launch the program
![Wings 3D - starting with 3D text Shot110](https://i.servimg.com/u/f43/14/43/85/81/shot110.png)
Right Click on the viewport (screen) for the Right Click Menu
> click on the Text dialog box (icon) on the right.
Step 3: Enter your Text
![Wings 3D - starting with 3D text Shot210](https://i.servimg.com/u/f43/14/43/85/81/shot210.png)
Select your font then Click OK
*If you have never used Wings 3D:
-Click mouse wheel to rotate
-Scroll mouse wheel to zoom in and out
Step 4: Clear and customize
![Wings 3D - starting with 3D text Shot310](https://i.servimg.com/u/f43/14/43/85/81/shot310.png)
On the top right is where you will click to clear the axes and ground plane. You will also find the options for smooth shading and perspective view.
You can either export to an object or 3DS file under the FILE menu
or
go under the TOOLS menu where you can take a screen shot.
Now you have a 3D text image to edit a using programs like GIMP or Photoshop.
Of course there's a lot of other features such as importing a graphic for texture, shaders, lighting and rendering in Wings3D for your 3D text, but this tutorial is meant to be simple in hopes that it will not discourage someone willing to try this really neat program and becoming too overwhelmed.
Give it a try ~ it's easy ^,^
