I decided to try with my initials (LEH) and came up with this _VERY_ 
simplified test image.  Just a single block with the three initials. 
Fortunately, my initials were very easy to implement as simple unions of 
boxes.  These were then differenced from a cube.  Note, difference not 
intersection.

I don't know if this shape is physically possible, there might be 
'floating' chunks in the middle someplaces.  But it works as a POV image.

I did end up using rounded boxes instead of regular boxes, and I 
probably should change to spotlights as well.  But as I said, this was 
just a simple initial test.
