You can make the 3D-effect simpler and still better as well .

You need the Transparency PlugIn for this!

1. Write your text.

2. Go to Layers | Rotate / Zoom. You can change the settings as you like. This step is optional.

3. Duplicate the layer you've written your text on.

4. You can change the color. Go to Adjustments | Brightness / Contrast and change the brightness. I would make it darker, so it looks more realistic. This step is optional.

5. Go to Effects | Blurs | Motion Blur. You can change the settings as you like.

6. Go to Adjustments | Transparency and make the layer you did the motion blur on completely opaque.

7. Move the upper layer, which you just made opaque, under the original layer.

8. You're basically done. Now you can do anything you like. With this method, you can make any shape look 3D.

Thanks for the tutorial, Jake. I used it to make a banner that my band might use, if they like it.

Click for full size

Edit:

This time I just used the $ & ¢ signs

Again, click it for a bigger version.

The curves tool won't do anything for me? It will stay white, and yes I Have it on the right layer, and RGB

Edit: Nevermind I fixed it.

Darken the "3D" part of the text. It will give it more depth. Otherwise, nice job.

I just wanted to add what I made...great tut.

The only thing I did different was when it came the the highlights, I just decreased the opacity of them.
