3D Text in Perspective
Open a new document in Photoshop. Type some text for edition using Arial Black font of 300px. Make sure not to use the "Faux Bold" option on this text.

To transofrm the text, you need to convert it into vector shapes: go to Layer->Text->Convert to shape. Now choose Edit>Transform>Perspective and arrange the nodes to make the text look like it is in perspective.

Then go to Edit->Transform->Skew/Distort and transform your text until it's enough for you. Hold down CTRL+ALT and press UP key to duplicate the layer and move it up. Do that about 30 times, and you'll get something like this:

Now merge all duplicate layers together, but for the one at the top. Link all those layers as it's shown (make sure not to link the background layer).

Go to Layer->Merge Linked to merge all the bottom layers. There should be 1 layer on top, 1 at the bottom and background layer:

Then apply following layer style settings to the bottom layer:




Apply following layer style settings to the top layer:




Now you can add some colors to background layer and get the following:

Apply other Pattern Overlay settings:

And you will get another variant of your 3D text.

Enjoy the results!
