You??™ll see a cursor
appear. Your keyboard is now a typewriter, and LightWave will not respond to
keyboard equivalents. Type ABN, the call letters for the Ablan Broadcast Network
(Figure 7.16).
Figure 7.16 With the Text tool, you can add type to Modeler projects.
With the Text tool active, you can interactively adjust your font. You must do this
before you turn off the tool, however.When you turn off the tool, the text object
will become polygons, just like a box, ball, or anything else you might create. You
can then size, adjust, and change the shape as you like; however, turning the text
tool back on does not allow you to edit this text but rather creates new text.With
the light blue text cursor still active, you can click and drag on the top of the cursor
to size the fonts. And you can click and drag on the bottom vertical slash to adjust
spacing between letters. Click and drag the bottomright
corner of the cursor to position your text.
6. Before you turn off the Text tool, try one more
thing. Click the Numeric button at the bottom of
the interface. Here??™s what??™s cool about the fonts in
LightWave v9??”in past versions, you had to load
fonts into the system.
