I know that “flat design” is enjoying its 15 minutes of fame right now, but sometimes you just gotta make something pop by adding 3D effects. Especially if you’re going for a retro text look. Of course, Photoshop has some very powerful 3D tools, but getting the hang of them takes a serious amount of time and effort. If you just want a way to make something that looks good fast, check out the RetroLift 3D PSD Actions by Retro Supply Co. For $12 you can get a set of 5 actions that work with Photoshop CS4 and above to create super 3D text effects with any font.

 

 

 

The actions also come with a bonus video tutorial showing how to create a vintage film title effect, including the 3D lettering.
