Unable to upload the video directly to Lemmy, I'm testing the ability to include it from Imgur!

Did you use any tools to help build this or did you do it by hand? I remember sethbling put together some kind of world edit tool that did something similar years ago.

It was all by hand. One block at a time and hiding a bunch of command blocks throughout the build to put me back to the viewing position whenever I stepped on a pressure plate. I did have worldedit but I didn't end up using it very much. I also had an application on my computer that would load up an image overlay and keep it in front of the game. I created a transparent PNG with just an outline of the word Camber in the font that I wanted. Whenever I stepped back to the viewing position, if anything was outside of the stencil I'd remove it again.

Could you point me to how SethBling did it? I'd be curious to see.

Thanks! My brain hurts!! I get that it could be possible to have two separate words at a 90 degree angle from each other, but three at 45 degrees doesn't seem like it should be possible! Awesome stuff! 11 years ago too!
