The extrusion produces a 3d-like effect but the lines are parallel not converging. What I'd like to see is some way of distorting shapes so that the lines converge towards a vanishing point, i.e. give a true 3d.
I have an effect I could make available - see attached .png. It was written to make patterns like the one in bottom left, which people make with nails and string sometimes. But it almost does what you want, see extruded "Hi" at top right... except it's wireframe. I guess I could modify it to be not wireframe, if people think it would be worthwhile.

For example, suppose I have some text ("hello", for example) and I want it to appear as if suspended vertically in the air, with a perspective shadow cast onto the ground from it. The shadow needs to be distorted so that its verticals (which are "horizontal" on the ground because of the projection) are converging towards a point on the imaginary horizon.
Any ideas? Rick
