Just a question on creating 3D text. I’m currently using PS-CS and have been searching for a 3D text plug-in. I’ve seen various tutorials on how to "fake it" in PS but each requires several steps and I need to do this for dozens of frames!

Is there a free plug-in out there that will do this? If I have to pay for it I don’t see the point since I can already use other 3D text tools that are much cheaper than the asking price for commercial PS plug-ins…

What am I missing here???

You’re using the wrong tool for the job. If you try to use a screwdriver to drive nails, it’ll be difficult and frustrating; and if you try to use Photoshop to do 3D, it’ll be difficult and frustrating.

There is one, called Invigorator, I believe. But it’s not free.

Ulead has one called Cool3D that is especially for text but will also import Illustrator files. It’s not free but not to expensive.

Why NOT use a standalone for this rather than a plugin?

Actually I have Cool3D and have been using it for years. That’s what I’m doing now for 3D text. I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t an easier way since I’m "cleaning up" all my movie intro frames in PS anyway.

Thanks ALL for the quick replys!!

Not sure if this if what you’re looking for but I’ve used it a lot to create 3D text. LOTS of options! It is NOT free but if you can afford PS CS……? Available at:
