3D Text Depth

How would I start if I wanted to create a 3D Text object that has depth, kind of like a geometry? I know there is no simple answer, but maybe someone dealt with this problem before and has some knowledge of it. Thanks

just use this shader for the 3D text object.

Thanks for the reply but that’s not what I’m looking for. By depth I meant that the text would have geometry instead of being a billboard.

get a 3D model of the alphabet and use that? Or are you trying to create the meshes for the letters yourself with code?

Yes I want to create a mesh for the letters , rather than importing a 3d model. Could you give me some ideas in that direction? Thanks

Creating a 3D text mesh is not easy but i found something in the asset store http://u3d.as/content/status-c/3d-text/1QZ
