I like to think that this is a list of some of the more high quality 3D text effect tutorials out there, Some of these aren’t for the faint hearted as they use programs such as Xara and 3DS Max, then they are imported in to Photoshop to get the desired results.
While some are quite labour intensive there are some that can be quite easily achieved just by using Photoshop…see my selection below.

I love your work mate,
would be interested in hiring you for a design job,
I am a musician.. Electronically inspired
I have been trying your tutorials to help me save some money, however, I keep wondering if I should just leave it to the pros, and do what I do best, which is the music. please email me if you are interested, the Job consists of 1-3 page website with design.. WordPress or Tumblr, I have the code already for a tumblr site, just need a nice header image and 5 buttons. Great work again.

Dear Designshard,
Interesting Post, One of the greatest ways to boost your Search Engine Optimization is to use back links and anchor text. The reason for this is when people type into the search engines what they are looking for, Google deems what you have as being relevant to the search, thus giving you a better page rank.
Keep up the posts!
I admire people that have the ability to create like this! I can tweak a few things in PS but nothing like this! I am impressed!
Hey Designshard,
Thanks, on a related note, Here are three commonly used and effective text effects that are used in web headers, ebook covers and other web graphics.
Thx.
