You'll notice there is a little icon on the thumbnail of the “Edit me” layers.You'll need to open up the layer folders to find them. Open up the PSD in Photoshop and find the layers called “Edit me”.The reason I am sharing this PSD is not because of the quality of the asset (because it isn't really), but so newbies can dig into the smart object layers and see how the effect is made. Ok, the text in this PSD is made from Smart objects and some of you may not know how to use Smart Objects. How to use this freebie (and edit a Smart Object):įirst, make sure you have installed the fonts I have just mentioned and linked you to above. There are 2 different 3D text styles in this PSD, each with a flat-ish retro-ish appearance to them. Some of you may notice the background of this PSD has been made using our folded paper textures and halftone dot patterns. Using smart objects for 3D effects does make it slightly more difficult to transfer elements between projects, but they can yield deeper and more realistic 3D effects. In this PSD I've used the third option: smart objects. You can use Photoshop's now rather powerful 3D tools, clever layer styles or smart objects that layer over the top of one another. There are a plethora of ways to make 3D text in Photoshop. It wasn't intended as a freebie resource (and probably isn't good enough to be one), however, I figured some may find it useful to dig into. I was simply messing around in Photoshop yesterday with this. I was going to throw it in the recycle bin, but figured you candy lovin' bunch may want a bite. Here's something I made on a lazy sunday afternoon.
