In this tutorial we are going to learn to create text with 3D effect. Follow below step by step instructions for more details:
 
1) Let us start by creating a new document. You can choose the size of as per your requirements. I have created 320px X 150px as shown in figure 1.
 
Figure 1.
 
2) Now select text tool as shown in figure 2, from the palette and write something on the new document. For this tutorial I have enter "Ghost".
 
Figure 2.
 
3) Now let us add some effects to it, by changing the color and add gradients effect to it as shown in figure 3.
 
Figure 3.
 
4) I have added gradient effect as you can see in the above image. And now have to stretch the image in such a way that it should look in a 3D perspective, but before doing that we have to Rasterize the layer. To "Rasterize" right click on the text layer and click on "Rasterize Layer" as shown in figure 4.
 
Figure 4.
 
5) Now to transform the text to 3D perspective, with the text layer selected press "Ctrl + T" (This is the short cut key for free transform tool or you can go to Edit - Free transform). Now keep in mind only using the Free Transform tool { The Free Transform command lets you apply transformations (rotate, scale, skew, distort, and perspective) in one continuous operation. Instead of choosing different commands, you simply hold down a key on your keyboard to switch between transformation types. }might not get the exact output. In that case you use the Perspective option as shown in figure 5.
