Ultra Simple 3D Text
This Tutorial will show a simple way to achieve a 3D effect on text. It should be pretty self explanitory from the picture but for those real newbies, heres how its done.
Six Easy Steps
1. Create some Text, use a nice plain bold font2. Duplicate it with ctrl-D
3. Colour this text differently from the other text and slighty offset one from the other.
4. Break apart ctrl-B both letters
5. Use the line tool to join corners to give the block effect (use the magnetic tool).
6. Fill in the spaces between.
joining the edges of curved text can be a little more difficult to align.
Different effects can be achieved if you play around with different ideas.
