Are there plans to add support for 3D Text and 3D paths/shapes for World Space UI?

The existing 3D Transform feature is great, being able to extrude text/paths/shapes with a few additional XAML properties, this would allow for creating even cooler 3D UIs.

Unreal does something similar with their 3D Text Plugin. With just a few properties (extrude, bevel, bevel type, Half Circle Segments) you can create 3D Geometry from 2D Text.

Since Unreal is public source, you can see how they did it in code.

We have discussed something similar to this in the past. The main problem is how to apply the brush in the borders. We probably need a different brush for that.

Could you please open a ticket for this?

Glad to hear you guys are thinking about it as well. I think the real potential lies with 3D shapes and less with 3D text. This would make it super easy to create 3D buttons, frames and other UI elements.

Not sure about that but I hope its possible. As this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD4th9T3Kfs) shows, you can create some pretty cool 3D visuals by just being able have separate Front, Bevel, Extrude and Back brushes.
