TrueType font controls let you adjust alignment, spacing, tracking, and kerning before turning text into a 3D image. Xara3D is designed for creating still or animated text, titles, and logos for websites and other designs.
Text styling and depth
Start with text and choose a TrueType font, then refine how the letters sit and read using alignment, spacing, tracking, and kerning controls. These adjustments are useful when a short title, logo, or button label needs a particular shape before it is rendered as 3D text.
Xara3D can create a still image or add motion to the text. The resulting graphics are intended for placement on a website or inside a larger design.
- Use alignment and spacing settings to arrange the text.
- Fine-tune tracking and kerning between characters.
- Create text graphics for titles, logos, and web buttons.
How does text animation work?
Choose an effect to make the lettering float, rotate, or appear as if it is being typed. These motion treatments suit animated titles, web graphics, and introductory visuals where a short text element needs movement.
Working with imported images
Alongside text, Xara3D can import 2D images and convert them into 3D graphics. This gives a design that already contains an image another route into the program’s dimensional artwork workflow, alongside text-based logos and titles.
