To generate it right now, go to this 3D text maker and configure it as told here:
- Rendering style: select the fourth option image;
- 3D model: select the tenth option image;
- Text: New Year! (type as you wish);
- Font size: Normal;
- Text depth: 20;
- Draw shadow: No;

- there are many ready to use 3D possibilities at this very powerful 3D text generator.
