3d text help

[markybhoy]

Hi all .

I wonder if anyone could help me recreate this text effect from a T shirt i have.

I want to re create it but with my Username as opposed to Ian Brown as the TShirt says.

Ive had a wee go but havent came close to the same effect.

I have been trying it with a 3d model application but its way beyond my capability's

I had to draw a few lines in myself but its not really got the perspective .

It looks to me that the two sets of characters aren't distorted. The rear set is just a bit smaller and higher; its the lines that are in perspective. If you fiddle with your try, it should look close. Are you using PS? I would give it a whirl in Illustrator myself where the drawing tools are bit more diverse and easier to work with. Plus Illustrator does have a 3-D filter.
