Adobe After Effects CC Classroom in a Book (2019 Release), First Edition

Creating 3D text in Cinema 4D

You’ll start by creating the text.

1. In the Tools icon palette (below the menu bar), click and hold the triangle in the lower right

corner of the Pen icon to display its menu, and then select the Text tool.

A basic text spline appears in the middle of the scene.

2. In the text box in the Attribute Manager, type A Space Pod LLC.

3. In the Attribute Manager, change the text settings as follows:

Font: Chapparal Pro

Align: Middle

Height: 40 cm

The view is currently from an angle. You want to see how the text looks from the front, so you’ll
change the camera view.

4. Choose Front from the Cameras menu above the Viewport.
