Dont be a dick Flash or I'll spank you with my mod whip

Thanks Rock for this tut. I only have PS so I've never tried 3D, but I'll give this a try

that's ugly. Use prespective > copy layers > use move tool and move back. 100x Better 3D image. And if you're smart, record it as action and voila!

The way of you rotated the text was nice but the the colour of text really need more improvements.Black borders are quite distracting and some more work will make this outcome much better.Anyways thanks for sharing this tut.
