Hi, Great tutorial!

Thanks
its very cool!
Exactly what does your PRESET DO?
It’s explained in the tutorial. It’s a very old way of faking extrusion by offsetting layers one at a time in z-space. Being that this tutorial is almost 4 years old, there are many more methods available these days.
What is your recommended way to created 3D retro text using newer techniques? The 3D extrude option in CS6 works great, but requires long render times. Seems unnecessary for vintage style where real reflections and shiny material properties are not important.
I’d use Element 3D. It’s changed everything. That’s actually a good idea to revisit this.. not that retro is “in” any more. But, hey… nothing has ever stopped me from revisiting the 80s.
