Are you talking about bevels? If you are, just use the layer effects or something..

If you're talking about "real" 3D effects...
Photoshop is 2D.
If you're a talented guy and know your perspectives and that, then just draw it in photoshop.
But I doubt there's a decent way or plugin to do that in PS...

HI, i once did a tutorial about 3d letters and it's still stuck in my head. Cant remember the site though.


- You type your text in a textlayer
- duplicate this and hide the topmost layer
- rasterize the bottom text layer
- select the entire canvas and hold alt
- now you have to decide which direction you want to go with your shadow (lets say to the bottom right)
- press down, right, down, right, down .... untill you are satisfied.
- unhide your top layer and place it on the top left of your bottom layer


If the text seems grainy, just gaussian blur it a bit and then press filter => sharpen => unscharp mask untill you get a result you like
