There are a few ways to make text look three-dimensional in Photoshop. One way is to use the bevel and emboss tool. This tool creates a 3D effect by adding a bevel and shadow to the text.
Another way is to use the layer styles menu. This menu has many options for adding 3D effects to text, such as drop shadows, glows, and strokes. Finally, you can use the warp tool to manually distort the text and give it a 3D look.
To use the bevel and emboss tool, first select the text layer in the layers panel. Then, click on the “bevel and emboss” option in the layer styles menu. A new window will open with several options. First, choose the “style” of bevel and emboss you want to use.
There are many different styles to choose from, so experiment until you find one you like. Next, choose the “depth” of the bevel and emboss. This determines how pronounced the 3D effect will be. Finally, choose the “direction” of the bevel and emboss. This determines which way the light will be coming from.
To use the layer styles menu, first select the text layer in the layers panel. Then, click on the “layer styles” button at the bottom of the layers panel. A new window will open with several options for adding layer styles.
To add a drop shadow, simply check the “drop shadow” box and adjust the settings to your liking. To add a glow, check the “inner glow” box and adjust the settings. To add a stroke, check the “stroke” box and adjust the settings.
To use the warp tool, first select the text layer in the layers panel. Then, click on the “warp” option in the Edit menu.
A new window will open with several options for warping text. Experiment with different settings until you find something you like.
