3d Text In Photoshop Tutorial
The first step to making your 3d text is to choose
what type of text you are going to use. You can use
my settings if you want. Click on your text tool,
and edit the values below

Go ahead and click on your image and write the text
that you want to make 3d

Click on the triangle on the layer pallet and choose
"duplicate layer"

Select the text on your original layer make change
the color to a dark purple, or a dark version of whatever
color you are using

Now, zoom in by oressing ctrl and +
Move your dark colored text slightly to the right
and downward so that it looks like mine below, giving
it the 3d dropshadow-look.

Now zoom in. We are now going to connect the dark
color to the light colored text so that it make the
tow texts look solid. So zoom in on each corner and
select the edges.

Now fill them with your dark color, making sure that
you are still on your dark colored text layer.

The red circle indicates what area I have just edited
so that it gives you an idea of what I am talking
about.

Do this to every edge

Now, rasterize your type layer by selecting the text
tool, choosing a text layer and right clicking on
your image. Choose "Rasterize Type" Do this
for both type layers. Now merge your layers by clicking
on the triangle on your layer pallet and choosing "merge
down" until all your layers except your bg layer
are merged into 1 layer.

Now, duplicated your layer.

Select edit> transform> flip vertically

Position your text so that it is aligned on the bottom
of your original text

Use your distortion tools to transform your text
layer so that it makes a shadow. Go to edit> transform
and use the tool: perspective, skew, distort etc.

keep editing

Now, move the text behind your original text and
lower the opacity

Now just add a little color to the bottom and you
are done :)
