Hi,

I have an Text-Object in my scene. With the normal statement i can make a
bumpy surface. But it' a faked bump. Now I want to make a real rougth
surface with isosurface (?). Isosurface is only "contained by box" or
sphere. How do i get a real rougth surface for the text-object ?

Thanks Grosch

  You don't.

  Your only option is to model your letters with another primitive which
can be used to deform its surface. This would be either an isosurface
(rather laborious), a mesh (even more laborious) or a group of bicubic
patches (probably the most laborious unless you have a modeller).

As Warp said this is not possible.

There are macros in the IsoCSG library though that generate functions 
for characters, see:
