Question

Text (Long Drop Shadow)

How can I create a Text 'Long Drop Shadow' without having to duplicate layers. I know there is a way of selecting the text with the 'Selection Tool' then pasting it in to another layer, and then just pressing UP and DOWN on the keyboard. But I've forgotten how to do this process, which as much faster and more accurate.

      Ben, there is a forum rule that says when we get questions like this, I have to show you a tiny part of what Alien Skin Eye Candy 7 can do.  I rather like the marble look personally.

      It's better idea tu use 3D effect

      Select layer with text and go to 3D menu and then select Make 3D extrustion from Selected Layer

      Good idea, but 3D won't give it the exact style and effect I want.

      Hi

      You should be able to get the style you want in 3D with the following settings:

      1. Set camera to Orthographic

      2. In the mesh settings set to shear and set a horizontal and vertical angle

      3. set bevel material to black and extrusion material to blue

      4. In Scene set render surface style to "Unlit Texture"
