Hello and welcome to my tutorial for Adobe Photoshop. This is my first tutorial so I hope you will like it. This tutorial will explain how to make an awesome 3D text in 10 easy steps. So let's begin.
Create a new RGB color picture. Make sure that colors are default (black and white).
Select Horizontal Typetooland type any text. In the layers palette press on the text layer with right mouse button and press Rasterize Type.
Go to Layer/Layer Style/Inner Glow and in Blend Mode select Difference. Other values should be: Opacity - 100, Noise - 0, Technique - Softer, Source - Edge, Choke - 45, Size - 6, Range - 50, Jitter - 0.
Go to Layer/Layer Style/Bevel and Emboss and in Style select Inner Bevel. Other values should be: Technique - Smooth, Depth - 100, Direction - Up, Size - 3, Soften - 0, Angle - 95, Altitude - 30, select Use Global Light command.
In the Highlight Mode select Screen, make sure the color next to it is white. Opacity must be set to 75. In the Shadow Mode select Multiply, Opacity - 75.
Go to Layer/Layer Style/Gradient Overlay and in Blend Mode select Normal, Opacity - 100, Gradient - Metal, Style - Linear, Angle - 90, Scale - 100.
Press CTRL+J to create layer copy. Now go to Edit/Transform/Scale. Here W and H must be set to 101.
Repeat this step seven (or more) times. Just press CTRL+J/CTRL+SHIFT+T.
Now you must merge all layers except the background layer. Just make the background layer invisible by removing the eye icon, which is next to it and in the menu select Merge Visible.
Now you must create a new layer and after that go to Layer/Arrange/Send Backward. This will push the new layer into the middle (between the text layer and the background layer).
Hold CTRL and press on the text layer icon. The text will become selected. Now using Paint Bucket tool fill the selection. Now press CTRL+D to remove the selection
Now you must go to Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur and enter 5 in the Radius.
Make the shadow smaller by Edit/Transform/Scale. Now make a Perspective effect with Edit/Transform/Perspective.
