Racer445 used to have this tutorial on how to make really nice beveled text but ever since he updated his site it was taken down. I was wondering if anyone had saved it before that happened or had another way of doing it. I would really appreciate it.
There are loads of different ways of making high poly text most starting with creating a text shape. Scott Homer put up a mini tut on how he does it in his Bioshock homage thread : http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97769&highlight=scotthomer That should give you a good start. Hope it helps
You could make a spline in the bevelled form you want, type out the text you want, then apply a sweep modifier to the letters. I can post pics later about what I mean if you'd like.
