Pilowlava Pilowlava 3D23 December 2020Vincent Wagner of Studio Brot created a 3D model for a wide selection of latin glyphs of the Pilowlava font! Note that this work is not like a simple automatic extrusion. Vincent carefully sculpted every glyph, achieving the rounder and puffier rendering you could get. Note how the z-thickness of the strokes is not uniform, increasing and decreasing with the width of the strokes, but not linearly. The achieved effect is such as the one you would get by bending a metal tube. This work brings Pilowlava into the haptic world.
Those 3D glyphs have been modeled for subdivision. Each single glyph is made from 76 to 786 polygons. This work is released under the Free Art License, meaning that it's freely usable for any personal or commercial use as long as you credit its author, and modifiable as long as you share the modifications under the same license.
Files are available under the .blend .c4d .fbx and .obj formats.

Fengardo Neue
Fengardo Neue : Black
Clamant victoire en la liesse de l’été,
le héros puéril, fier de son jeune glaive,
foule dans les gazons le dragon mort et lève
vers les arbres amis son bras ensanglanté.
(Sigfried, Éphraïm Mikhaël).

Scène i. — La scène représente le Vénusberg ou royaume souterrain de Vénus (près d’Eisenach). Tout au fond de la grotte, éclairée d’une lumière rose et qui s’étend à perte de vue, un lac bleu dans lequel nagent des sirènes et des naïades.
Sur les plages et sur les tertres sont étendus des groupes amoureusement enlacés ; des nymphes et des bacchantes dansent dans un mouvement de plus en plus effréné. Au premier plan, à gauche, sous un magnifique dais, un somptueux lit de repos sur lequel est étendue Vénus. À ses pieds, et la tête appuyée sur ses genoux, est Tannhauser.
(Albert Lavignac - Le Voyage artistique à Bayreuth [1897]).
Fengardo Neue : Regular
Before a toilet that shone like the altar of Nôtre Dame des Victoires,
Venus was seated in a little dressing-gown of black and heliotrope.
The coiffeur Cosmé was caring for her scented chevelure, and with tiny
silver tongs, warm from the caresses of the flame, made delicious
intelligent curls that fell as lightly as a breath about her forehead
and over her eyebrows, and clustered like tendrils about her neck. Her
three favourite girls, Pappelarde, Blanchemains, and Loreyne, waited
immediately upon her with perfume and powder in delicate flagons and
frail cassolettes, and held in porcelain jars the ravishing paints
prepared by Chateline for those cheeks and lips that had grown a little
pale with anguish of exile. (The Story of Venus and Tannhauser - Aubrey Beardsley).
