Step 1Open a new document by choosing
File > New from the
Main Menu or by using
Ctrl + N to shortcut it.. my favorite one.. Activate the
Text tool by pressing the
T key... I use
Billo Dream fonts that you can download it here for free.

Step 2Text Tool still active,
right-click your text and choose
Create Work Path. Press the
A button and then click and drag the area around the text you have selected.

Becoming this...

In the options bar at the top of
Photoshop, you can see the
Combine button... click it to make sure our letters are all stays together (as a single unit). You can now copy the selected paths by the famous shortcut command
Ctrl+C.
Step 3 Skip to Illustrator. Move on, open your
Adobe Illustrator now. Go ahead.. paste the paths we copied right into your
Illustrator document also by the famous shortcut command
Ctrl+V.Here comes the delicious part! Still with the path selected, choose
Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel. After all your settings are done, click
OK to get your
3D transformation.
Step 4Back to Photoshop. Notice that our object still selected in
Illustrator,
copy it back by hitting
Ctrl+C, then
click over to your
Photoshop and hit
Ctrl+V like we've done earlier. Choose
Smart Object and click
Enter. Rename it
3D Text like i did.
Step 5Create the Shadow. We’re going to do the
Copy and Paste again, but now.. in Photoshop. Copy the 3D Text layer and move the copied layer just below the
3D Text layer. Guys... I believe it’s gonna be hard seeing this new black pasted version over the original, so lets change the
Blending Mode into
Overlay and
Down the
Fill Opacity as you like.


As usual.. play around guys, have a little fun with it.
Go crazy... Exploring the Art of Madness.
Here's my Final Cut!
