Fontz earns a spot in the Superhive library for pairing editable .blend fonts with transparent PNGs, giving Blender users both an in-app workflow and portable letters for other tools.
Fontz - Various 3D Fonts is an add-on from ThreeDee for writing 3D text inside Blender. It ships with a set of 3D font styles, including Cyber, Balloon, Flora, Candy, Christmas, Design, Kids, ThreeDee, Rock, Neon and Fluffy fonts, so you can pick a look and start writing in Blender.
Every font comes in two formats: source files in .blend and PNG files with transparent backgrounds. Each one covers a full alphabet, with uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters, supplied in both PNG and BLEND. Because every letter is exported separately, you can work character by character and carry the letters into other design tools such as Figma, Photoshop, Sketch or Premiere Pro.
A tutorial is included, written to be easy to follow even for people who have just downloaded Blender. Fontz also combines with other 3D libraries from ThreeDee, and a demo video is available.
Fontz - Various 3D Fonts is best for blender users who want to write 3D text using ready-made 3D fonts, and designers who want to reuse individual letters in other tools.
Fontz - Various 3D Fonts is completely free to download and use.
Fontz - Various 3D Fonts lists compatibility with Blender from 3.0 through 4.3, covering 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. That range spans a wide stretch of Blender releases, so the add-on can run on older projects as well as current versions. If you are on a version outside that list, check the developer's page for the latest details before installing to confirm the add-on will load correctly.
Fontz - Various 3D Fonts exports every letter separately, which lets you use the 3D characters in other design tools without hassle. The developer names Figma, Photoshop, Sketch and Premiere Pro as examples. Because each font ships with transparent PNG files alongside source .blend files, you have portable image files to bring individual letters into those applications. Having each letter exported on its own means you can work with single characters rather than being locked to whole words.
Fontz - Various 3D Fonts includes two formats for every font: source files in Blender's .blend format and PNG files with transparent backgrounds. Each set covers a full alphabet with uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters, provided in both PNG and BLEND. Every letter is exported separately, so you can work with individual characters rather than whole words. The .blend files keep everything editable inside Blender, while the transparent PNGs suit use in other applications.
Fontz - Various 3D Fonts is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change, so for current pricing and license details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The package also comes with a tutorial that the developer describes as easy to follow, aimed even at people who have just downloaded Blender, which helps if you are new to the software.
