Abstract Text is one object that can be manipulated into three-dimensional shapes. The main effects in displaying three-dimensional text include the shadow effect, the depth of 3D effects, the type of bevel on the edges of the text or the addition of light effects and transformations such as rotating and flipping. In addition to the above its effects, it can also do 3D text rotation by doing animation on the text. One way to make text into 3D objects can use OpenGL which is an engine that is widely used for 3D applications. In addition to 3D effects OpenGL also provides features to give color, apply texture to objects, lighting, rotation, and scaling. The results of this study are software that can convert a text into three-dimensional text in the form of images by providing shadow effects and adding background graphics in the form of textures with the addition of several features such as rotation, scaling, and moving. The software also can print the results of 3D text and save the results in a bitmap image format.
