Drop a reflection

Hi,
I am looking for how to create a reflection as if something is lit. See picture. I need to have text standing in the same way on a wall and lit from above. "Drop shadow" doesn't reflect the way I want, and I can't figure out what would be smart to do. Do I need to go to Photoshop maybe? Does anyone know?
Thanks!

3D and Materials effect with a shadow below the object perhaps:

That's it! Tried it out now, but would you like to share the steps you did inside the 3d and Material palette? I can't seem to figure it out ... (I have the object I want to reflect ready as outlined flat text). Thank you 🙂

What's really tricky is rotating the object in 3D space. I would start from a flat view.
