How can I re-create this text effect?

[Rhino1616]

Hi,

I saw this very neat text effect that i like. If you go to: http://www.msiamo.com/www/start.html and then go to the "contact page" the designer created the word Msiamo in a 3d effect, i think it looks very cool. Could someone direct me to a tutorial or explain how this 3d effect is created. Id love to try and create this effect.

Thank you

You'll have to do a web search for the tuts, just type in Photoshop 3d text tutorial.

The effect is a 2-3 layer 3d text tutorial, extended 90 degrees to the right.
Then the original text layer is given a light drop shadow.

This effect will work best with letters with sharp edges.

Hi Rhino1616,

Welcome to the forum. Here are a couple of links to 3D type effects which were done by The Keeper (who creates this site and keeps it running. While they aren't exactly the effect you have referenced, I believe you could create the effect using the basic techniques which are explained.

Let us know if you get stuck.

The original type layer that gets shifted sideways must also have a Bevel & Emboss effect applied to it in order for you to get the highlights and shading seen on the letters.
