I was going to make a menu for my game and I go to add a 3d text and it’s not there! It has not been there since I got Unity. I first had Unity on my other computer and I switched computers. So is there a way to get back the 3d text option! Some please help me…thanks.
Someone please help…
You may like to use the new GUI (in world space mode if you what a 3d space perspective)
The 3D Text is very old and not the best option.
If you want to use the old 3d text feature, then use the Component->Mesh->Text Mesh menu.
I see the Text Mesh Button, but it won’t let me select it 
I found a different way to add 3d text, so thank you so much for helping me out. 
I am starting to use UI options to make my 3d test. Thanks for the help!
How can I add 3d text with the UI options? Help please!
UI is a 2d user interface solution. There is no 3d font system as part of it.
NVM I upgraded to Unity 5 and the 3D text option is back. Thanks 
As stated above:
“If you want to use the old 3d text feature, then use the Component->Mesh->Text Mesh menu.”
ie, 3DText is also known as a TextMesh
