Nice 3D Looking Text with Photoshop


1. Create a new 600x600 pixel document and name it 3D Text. Now press D and then fill the document (with Black). Then create a new layer. Next, create a horizontal type mask, (note: I made my text size about 600px, yours may vary depending on the font you choose). select a grey color and fill.

2. Now skew the text by holding down Alt +Shift and then clicking and dragging the bottom left corner outwards until you get your desired look.

3. Next, copy the layer with text on it. Make the copied layers name 'back' and the origional one 'foregound'. Remember to arrange the layers so the foreground layer is at the top of the list and back is below it. Now we will nudge/move the layers. Select the back layer and hold Shift and press the down arrow about 6 times (moving it 30 px in total). Now with the back layer still selected apply a bevel and emboss to it with default settings except [Size: 10, Soften: 4, Shadow Mode Opacity to 85%, Angle: 64°, and Altitude: 39°].

4. Now with the back layer still selected, hold Alt and press the up arrow as many times as you need to until its right below the foreground layer. Holding the Alt button down makes a duplicate of each layer.

Now you can make more than just 3D text, just play around with your Layer Styles and then just do the Alt arrow and you can make many nice 3D looking objects.
