Lens Studio doesn't have built-in 3D text; you have to create it in a separate program and import the 3D model. The problem with this is that the text cannot be dynamic.

I created a script that helps you fake a 3D text effect that remains fully dynamic, so you can, for example, set it to the user's display name. The technique consists of duplicating the text and offsetting it to create the illusion of depth. You can find the full tutorial here: https://learn.arbootcamp.com/snapchat-intermediate/3d-text

  I faced that same issue a while back when I wanted 3D text for showing numbers

  In that lens I actually imported all numeric characters as 3D elements and using scripting I added them to the scene dynamically. I'd attempt something like that also for other alphanumeric character needs as well.
