Homework
Create some kind of fictional alphabet
- Create a Processing Sketch to display the letters of the alphabet — maybe draw a chart of letters (Did you know Processing can output PDFs?)
- Use the RITA library to create text in your constructed script!
- Please a short paragraph in the wiki detailing the background of your fictional alphabet / writing system / language
- Just posting pretty pictures is not enough
Remember:
- You have two weeks time to finish your homework!
- Keep it simple. It’s okay if you create a writing system for a special domain (For example counting / numbers)

1. Create a a couple of 3D letters using the 3D tools we explored in class
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 this sketch as a starting point
