I used EleFont to make the MovieProject logotext.
I then imported the DXF file into Rhino (which reads it OK, while 3DWin
reads it but doesn't find any meshes). I then exported to 3DS and used 3DWin
to convert that to POV/UDO which I then loaded into Moray to texture it, set
the light, camera etc. and render.
I know that I could have exported POV/UDO directly from Rhino, but 3DWin
also smoothes the exported POV-Ray mesh, and the result looked nicer, so I
went the additional way.
All in all it was:
EleFont -> DXF -> Rhino -> 3DS -> 3DWin -> POV/UDO -> Moray -> Render.
