To print a 3D string in OpenGL

Hello can anyone please let me know a function for 3D printing in OpenGL. I had to print a string and was using glutBitm开发者_如何学GoapCharacter() but this is not printing it.

Thankx in advance. :)

OpenGL doesn't handle 3D printing. You may wish to look into a MakerBot.

On a more serious note I assume you meant extruded text rendering. Take a look at some of these.

This is a very good tutorial (link removed as it eventually pointed to a malware site) (video and text version). There are source files: text3d.h/cpp, charsets. You can include this files to your project. After that you can draw 2d/3d text:
t3dDraw3D("My text", 0, 0, 0.2f); It's very easy to use.

Warning: I had a problem with this site few times (some AV warnings and redirects - propably DNS system of this site has been hacked). You can see some information of security risk. IT'S FAKE!

(sorry for ma bad English)

You probably meant representing the text in 3D... No, OpenGL does not have a way of doing it natively, but using some extra well known libraries you can achieve the effect. There's an exact tutorial on that on NeHe.
