3D TEXT!
So I think I have my idea for the GLArt final… 3D WEBPAGES…
Rendering, and somewhat exploding webpages dynamically into a 3D space, links still working, images 3D’d and everything. I am especially excited about 3D typography.
So for the midterm I am going to explore rendering type as 3D geometry and parsing through a web page or two… At this point I made a little app that renders what you type in 3D. To do this I had to first create .obj’s of 26 characters (A-Z) and then load them into display lists. After that I needed to get the keyboard stuff working well with LWJGL, but it eventually happened and I am on my way… check it out.

In the .zip there is a executable .jar if you want to run it without compiling and stuff.
