Yet antoher 3d text

Yet again I felt like making a 3d text effect in Photoshop, so here is how to make a stylish 3d text effect.

First with the text tool type in the text you want to apply this effect to.

In the layers panel right click the text layer and choose rasterize layer.

Now go to edit -> transform -> perspective and drag the right upper corner a bit down as shown below.

Then again go to edit -> transform -> free transform and drag the right middle corner a bit to the left to change the text width.

With the text layer selected in the layers panel, now choose the move tool, hold down the alt key and press the left arrow key on the keyboard about 8 times, (depending on how big your font is). This will duplicate the text layer 8 times.

Select all the text layers in the layers panel except the top one, then right click and choose merge layers.

Double click the top layer to get to the layers styles panel and give it settings as shown below.

Double click the text layer below, (the one that should represent the 3d effect) and give it styles as shown below.

And we are done, to make the reflection I just put a copy of the the layers into another folder and rotated the text scaled it to fit.
