Very Computer

Is there any shareware out there that will automate the process of
creating a rotating logo or text (that's rotating around an axis
paralell to the screen, not perpendicular to it), or is such a thing
not possible?

Any help in this direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

D. Miles

Try a program from Raydream called addDepth.  It's not a very powerful 3D
program, it's designed to do only what you mentioned.

You might try checking out micrographics website.  They have a
demo version of Simply3D version2 that should be able to do this.
I'm not sure how long the demo license is for, but I find Simply3D
decent for creating quick web graphics, and may be worth the
investment.  I don't have the URL in front of me, but I think
you should be able to find it if you do a web search.

Great... somebody else who uses WEB3D.  Check out my page tomorrow morning
for an example of what this guy's wanting.  I should be able to make one
fairly easily.

        I've done that sort of thing with Asymetrix' 3DFX, which was
exceedingly easy to work with, and had a nice renderer to boot.  I don't
have it anymore, since I have some nicer stuff now, but it's cheap.  I
don't know how it compares to Web3D though.  3DFX was designed for
flying logos, though.  
        Rotating text on an axis parallel to the screen isn't hard in
most packages.
