3D node
Text 3D
Takes the same lettering and extrudes it into a real, beveled 3D mesh you can light, rotate, and shade like any other object in the scene — logo stings and title cards with actual depth.
What it does
Text 3D is a 3D node: it builds, changes or lights geometry that Render 3D turns into a picture. It takes picture in and gives 3D shape out.
Try it
Give your extruded word a Gold Chrome material and spin it slowly under a studio HDRI.
