Has anyone found out how to change 3D title objects to dynamically change depth ? They can swirl and fade etc already. Intel Core i7 3770K 3.6 Ghz,
GTX 680, 2 X Benq23 3D monitors,
6G DDR3, Win 7 64, Win 10 (Insider) 64

Hi kingsmeadow,

If you’re talking about a way to have the extrusion value (depth of field), gradually increase, as if it was controlled by key frames, then I don’t think that that is available in the 3D Like text template. Or at least I haven’t been able to find it.
But, you can go the old school route.

Find your starting point > Tap the Frame Advance key on your keyboard > Click on Split > Click Modify > Click on the Font Face Settings button > Bump the Extrusion value up a couple of notches > Click on Save.

Then rinse and repeat, another 10 - 15 - 20 times (depending on the amount of three dimensional depth you want), as shown in the screenshot below, and this short video example…
