I came to know of this one quite recently when a friend of mine created a three dimensional sphere using photoshop.
He told me the trick which i am sharing with u guys, only i will be making 3D text here.
To CREATE SIMPLE 3D TEXT
- Open a new PSD,preferrably with a black background.
- Create a text layer, selecting a blod font for more effect
- Type in the text and tilt the text window by a few degrees anticlockwise (around 30 degrees will do)
- Merge the text layer with the background using cntrl+E
- Go to Filter >> Blur >> motion blur
- Set the tilt at around 30-40 degrees (experiment with various angles like +30 deg or -30 deg etc). Set the blur pixels between 20-30 pixels (do not cross 30..it gets ugly)
- U will see a slight 3d effect already showing on the text.
- For more effect, lets add the 'glowing edges' filter. Go to Filter >> stylize >> glowing edges.
- Set the values that u prefer. I used values of 4-9-15 for width-brightness-smoothness.
- Click ok and tadaaaa...u have 3 dimentional text. Try out this on various shapes and objects![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
