Is there easy way of having a rounded bevel on text… ie like so…

enter image description here

It was painful to model this on the text and when I added a bevel I got all sorts of bad geometry and had to rebuild it etc, like so…

enter image description here

so just wondering if there was an easy way I was missing?

Thanks in advance.

I would personally go with Skin modifier. It can be a bit tricky sometimes but after you will "feel" it, you'll have fun.

Mesh.

Simple extrusion from one vertex. No faces.

Modifiers.

mods

First Subdivision for smoothing base mesh.

Skin for creating mesh.

Second Subdivision to smooth Skin results.

Most important thing here is that you will need to manually set Vertex Data radius by selecting vertex and scaling it using Ctrl+A.
