Is there any way to create 3D text easily by specifying the required characters (e.g. ''a'', ''b'', etc) which will then be converted to 3D models of those characters?

How about a 256 entry array of pointers to your text models (however you store them) and then arrange them in the same order as the ASCII table, so the ASCII value for 'a', think it's something like 64 off the top of my head but don't quote me, index's straight to the 'a' model etc...

howzat?

of course you might want to have a smaller table just for the letters and digits, and calculate the index relative to that etc
