A brand new text tool in Maya 2016 extension 1 makes it easier than ever to create branding, flying logos, title sequences, and other projects that require text. 3D Type allows artists to create easily editable, non-destructive, multi-line, deformable type. With full control over the way it looks, including precise control over bevel and extrusion profiles, the new 3D Type tool allows artists to animate by character, word, or line. autode.sk/Maya2016

For some reason my Type Tool is locked/greyed out, it won,t let me create text
The animation feature of Type could be improved… you can't apply animation channels on a per letter basis, only give all letters the same animation with an offset.
How to select by word? line eg.?
alt right click, shift .., ctrlrClick all doesnt give me that menu
And better, How to bake the animation to a per word Motion? for external renders
Hi! Do you know why my type tool would be grayed out in the menu?
it's says Maya 2016 year is 2016 when will it be released?
well bring that to max as well would you?
Its all good and dandy, but it is sad that the old text tool is completely replaced, especially when the Type tool is having difficulties with the bevel extrude. And that it cannot output nurbs etc..
how to active 3d text tools ?
how to enable 3D text tool?
Connecting particle motion with the text was really good Daryl !
only wish your software was affordable
Yes! Finally, This is a much needed tool! Thank you Autodesk.
