3D alphabet experiment

I am in the middle of a new ‘special’ poster, and I am making some testing with different technics… For example trying to use the Zdepth map with my algorithm… with no acceptable results ðŸ™

But…  I want to share with you some of my test files. This one is based in a render of a random geometry (3dsmax and Grebble). It contains only alphabet letters. Quite simple but no too bad. Suitable for abstract forms  fans.
