1. Create a a couple of 3D letters using the 3D tools we explored in class<br>
 
2. Use the processing sketch to typeset them in 3D space
Remember:
* Processing can handle only OBJ files
* MeshLab is your friend when it comes to conversion between 3D file formats
* You can use  [https://github.com/bitcraftlab/Wild-Type/tree/master/3d/alphabet3d this sketch] as a starting point
