Skewing Text?

I'm trying to get the effect of text being on multiple sides of a cube. Is there a way to easily skew the text to have a "perspective" sort of look? I know there's perspective warp in photoshop, but I can't seem to find the equivalent of that in Illustrator.

Ethan,

I presume the cube is not in real perspective but rather in isometric or similar (with other angles).

In that case, the perspective (grid) will give something that is (albeit maybe only slightly) off.

An easy way of simply skewing is Object>Transform>Shear using the angle deviation from 90 degrees at the lower left corner (relative to the text), positive for skewing like italics (30 degrees for isometric).

I know I can add a perspective grid, but I don't see how to get the text to go into a "box" look.

Drag your text objects onto the perspective grid.

If that does not work for your, please show us what you want to do and what you already have.
