Hi(gh)!

To generate gold-textured carved inscriptions in marble, I need tapering 
font characters... and (besides turning them into heightfields and 
rotating them afterwards by 180 degrees before subtracting them from the 
marble plate) they only way to achieve this is converting them into 
prism objects and adding the taper_sweep modifier... how could I do this?

See you in Khyberspace!
