To create a custom 3D Font.
1.Download the font you want at dafont.com.
2.If your font is in a .zip file, extract the .ttf to your desktop.
3.Go to http://gero3.github.io/facetype.js/.
4.Click on Select Files and open the ttf file that you extracted.
5.Click Convert. Make sure .json is selected.
6.Take your .json file(in the example: Masked Hero Demo_Regular.json) and drag it into the Resources folder.
Note: After installing the custom .json you may need to close out your session and restart.
The use3D rule must be set to true and the fontUrl must point to the 'Masked Hero Demo_Regular.json' file in the Resources folder. Your custom 3D font may have a different name.
The Text3d_MaskedHero design in the tree shows this example.
