Rendering a mesh of letters correctly

[OwenDavid]

Hi all,

We have a simple mesh with the 3d letters spelling LATE.

When we view this in a render window the wireframe looks fine but the surfaces have an odd colour fill.

Is this a known issue or is there a trick to this?

Many other complex meshes in the window are fine. Just the lettering seems to be impacted selectively - the A seems A-ok! for example.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. What font is that?

from vedo import *
texts = []
for i, font in enumerate(sorted(settings.font_parameters)):
    t = Text3D(f"LATE late ({font})", font=font, c=i)
    t.scale(0.35).pos(0, -i, 0)
    texts.append(t)
show(texts, size=(700, 1220), zoom='tight', bg='black')

this looks normal to me..

Thanks Marco,

Perhaps I wasn't clear - but we imported a mesh object of lettering that was created in Rhino3D. The original font was 'Century Gothic'

The mesh object looks fine in wireframe but has the issue when coloured in.

This should explain the fact that the text3D method functions as expected!

Are there any options to work around this,

1. using the 'Century Gothic' font in either text2d or text3d
2. colouring / filling the imported mesh of letters correctly.

What do you think?

OK, have you tried with .triangulate() ?

Ok, thanks will give this a shot!
