Marije;

from your description earlier on, I expected an error code in a 3D fat font,

 you will need to make it be affected by lighting to tell the sides from the
front, and by that time the readability of your errors will depend on the
lighting of the scene.... I tried and while it looks nicely
"movie-poster-like" it's not so practical.

But yes, I'd like something like that, without sacrificing readability.
Maybe a frame around the text that moves with a more elaborate animation at
removing it all again.

Exactly!
