I'm making my first JavaFX project and I need to render some 3D text. I already put a PerspectiveCamera and I display a text node but it has a Z-dimension of 0 and I don't know how to change this.

Thanks in advance!

Have a look at the FXyz project. It already contains a Text3DMesh class that will allow you generating a 3D mesh for any string and font you need.

Text3D

Under the hood there is a complex process of converting (2D) Text to Path, Delaunay triangulation and mesh extrusion.

Text3D

As a result, you have a 3D mesh that can be easily rendered and textured (solid color, density map, images).

Have a look at the sample to get you started.

Thanks José! I will look at it
Do you know if it will run in a Raspberry Pi 2?
It should work, you just need to enable 3D flag, since it's an experimental feature.
Hi @José, I mangaed to compile the project and to render some 3d text but ANT couln't generate the Javadoc and I'm a little confused on how to use FXyz, is there a Javadoc online?
No, there isn't. We have quite a bunch of tests to try all the shapes and the different options. Also you can have a look at the Sampler. Also check this post.
