Intersecting solid spelling SUN from the front and SEA from the side

Two font masks are extruded along perpendicular axes and intersected on a voxel grid. The renderer extracts exposed faces, measures each word's projected coverage and provides front, side and draggable angled views of the same solid. Typography, voxel intersection and viewpoint exports are local. Keep font licensing with shared outputs; higher voxel resolution increases mesh size and browser drawing work without generation charges.

v1.0.0 · Updated Oct 25, 2026 · 1.8 MB · Use it for personal and client work; please don't resell or share the package.

What you get

  1. Angled sculpture PNG and editable projected-face SVG

  2. Interactive front/side/orbit viewer with current PNG export

  3. Word proofs, solid geometry and portable font-backed brief

Good for

  • Two-word optical artworks
  • Exploring the relationship between lettering and viewpoint

Not for

  • Automatically connected or fabrication-ready solids
  • Unsupported font characters or arbitrary long phrases

How it works

Includes a local renderer

  1. Choose the input

    Choose two short words in a font that covers every character.

  2. Render and inspect

    Intersect the extruded masks and inspect both word proofs.

  3. Adjust and export

    Rotate the solid or save a named viewpoint and its geometry.

How the workflow runs

How Orthogonal word sculpture works

Two font masks are extruded along perpendicular axes and intersected on a voxel grid. The renderer extracts exposed faces, measures each word's projected coverage and provides front, side and draggable angled views of the same solid.

What's inside the skill

What you can change

  • front_word and side_word: up to five characters each
  • resolution: 24–56 vertical voxels
  • camera azimuth and elevation
  • three-color palette and a covering TrueType font

What to review before delivery

  • Both perpendicular projections retain at least 98% of their requested glyph masks.
  • The example contains more than 100 occupied voxels.
  • The saved brief reproduces the PNG and SVG; unsafe replacement is rejected.

Why use this skill

Start with this package

The package supplies actual volumetric intersection and measured word projections. It avoids manually arranging separate letter pictures or presenting a single-view illusion as a two-view solid.

A prompt, your own skill, or this workflow?

Start with a prompt

Your agent can create from a plain request. The brief, visual rules, asset choices, output format and review process still need to be established for that project.

Write your own skill

You choose and maintain the reusable instructions, defaults, file structure and checks. This is useful when your process needs different rules or integrations.

A workflow created for PopNow

This workflow was built for PopNow. Its source files, included dependencies and applicable notices are part of the package; the scope described below belongs to this edition.

What will this cost?

Typography, voxel intersection and viewpoint exports are local. Keep font licensing with shared outputs; higher voxel resolution increases mesh size and browser drawing work without generation charges.

The supplied route runs locally. A new-media request is a separate choice. Free skill. New media is quoted before it runs.

The skill package

Free to install under your account's download allowance. The package license covers your own and client work; redistribution is excluded.

Existing assets and local work

Reusing suitable assets, editing files and running local assembly do not call a PopNow generation model. Your computer and any required runtime still do the work.

Your agent and hosting

Any subscription, hosted computer, deployment or other provider fee belongs to that service. Installing this skill does not include those services.

How PopNow billing works

Connections using a PopNow API key, including API-key MCP connections, spend from the separate API balance in USD. A ChatGPT or Claude connection authorized through OAuth spends website credits. These balances are separate; the quote shown by your connection is the approval basis.

Download allowances and current account conditions apply. A free package does not mean unlimited free generation.

How to use it

You say

  • Use the PopNow skill "Orthogonal word sculpture" (orthogonal-word-sculpture) for this: Choose two short words in a font that covers every character. Use the packaged example as a starting point and return the actual artwork with its editable inputs.

Then try

  • Rebuild a visibly different version using front_word: SUN → JOY; side_word: SEA → ART.

  • Explain the result using its actual proof files and algorithm ledger.

What to have ready

  • Two short words and the bundled or a licensed TrueType font
  • Preferred camera and material colors
  • Python 3.10+, Pillow and NumPy; a browser for interaction

Questions

Are there actually two different words?

The same intersected voxel solid is viewed from two perpendicular directions. The builder measures both projected masks and rejects pairs below 98% coverage; the default pair reaches 100% in both proofs.

Can I print the object physically?

The package exports screen views and an inspectable surface ledger, not a certified printable object. Intersections may create disconnected pieces; structural connectivity and fabrication tolerances are not validated.

What costs depend on this workflow?

Typography, voxel intersection and viewpoint exports are local. Keep font licensing with shared outputs; higher voxel resolution increases mesh size and browser drawing work without generation charges.

What is already packaged in Orthogonal word sculpture?

The domain algorithm and invariant checks. Runnable, editable example parameters. Control meanings, proof interpretation and limits.

Which parts of Orthogonal word sculpture can add a charge?

How does Orthogonal word sculpture differ from writing a prompt or my own skill?

The package supplies actual volumetric intersection and measured word projections. It avoids manually arranging separate letter pictures or presenting a single-view illusion as a two-view solid.
