Text with Depth

[joelaready]

I've been trying to experiment with text using depth on the Z axis (so that the text looks almost like an object in a scene). When I put the track into 3D Alpha and use track motion, I can squeeze and rotate the text (or solid color, or whatever object or picture, you name it) but when I increase the depth (third option under "position") nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? The Depth on the 3D models gets bigger, but not the object or text in the preview window...

That affects the depth in terms of the object's position in the space. It doesn't affect the depth of the object -- you can't make the text into 3D objects.
