Star Wars Style Scrolling Text

How do I create the Star Wars Intro style text ?

Thanks in advance.

I'll point you to the right direction:

First make a charset that you'll later load into your D3D application. Each char will be 2 polygons that are rendered to the screen, thus you can modify the angle and speed as you wish.

Hope this helps a bit.. sorry no time for sample code

er...I've never used DirectX before so i can't make out head or tail of waht you mean . Some sample code will be really useful.

Thanks.

you could draw the text on a bitmap, then let it move horizontally away from a viewpoint placed perpendicular a bit above xy-plane.

you can render the surface with d3d, sample applications can be found anywhere if you search the net

But this won't allow him to fade the text out that is faar away.. well it's sure easier, so if you're not familiar try this first.
