@Colbert:
check out http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/ “make a new typography file” after the file is created, you just have to do some minor modifications, just compare the file with the already existing files

@jebac:
var material:Letter3DMaterial = new Letter3DMaterial(0xffffff);
material.doubleSided = true;

is it somehow possible to apply the bend modifier to a Text3D object or is there some kind of workaround that lets you bend vectorvision 3d text?
i found this example, where the bend modifier is applied to a SvgPathsPapervision object: http://www.lamberta.org/blog/better-bend-than-break/ but i just can’t get it to work with the Text3D object.

@Colbert Philippe: the guy who made five3d (on which vectorvision is based on afaik) also made a tool, which generates the required actionscript from font-files. you can download it here: http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/ (make a new typography file v2.0)

Do you know maybe why the back side of text is invisible once it rotates? It is not visible in your example as it never flips all the way around. Also, is there an easy way to extrude the text vector shape to give it depth?

I see that there are only 5 fonts for Font3D (HelveticaBold, HelveticaLight, HelveticaMedium, HelveticaRoman). Do you know if there might be other fonts available for Fond3D, maybe as external library.
