3d text trouble

I’m trying to get some 3d text brought into Unity, but I’m having trouble.

I dragged in a .DAE file, but the letter “e” does not seem to be coming in okay:


Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?

I posted the .DAE file over here:

Thanks.

 

Looks like the normals are flipped. What's it look like from behind? If you can see the faces, then it's definitely flipped. Best way to fix is to open in a 3d program and flip them back. Easiest way is to use a 2 sided shader but that might cause lighting and shadow problems. Worst case, it's missing the faces entirely and you'll have to open it up in a 3d program and add them back in. Did you try to just export an "e" to see how that looks on it's own?

 

Here's what an e looks like:





I tried the Additive particle shader to hopefully eliminate backface culling.

Any ideas what the issue is?

Thanks.

 

Looks like it's missing those faces so you'll have to open it up in some 3d program and add them back in.
