3-D Max, text and fonts

In 3-D max today we wrote our name!, theres a tab in the objects bar that lets you make Splines, (2-D objects in 3-d space), from this we created 2-D text, then turned it into an editable mesh; giving it polygons. From there we extruded the shape, making them 3-D. After that we messed around with the settings in "materials" (like i did with my car) and used a new option in there "difuse" it lets us put a texture on the objects. Below is a screenshot from max and 7 different textures i made (my favourite is the 6th down, has a lava type of effect ;). Enjoy:
