How to create 3D Letters

Trying to paste this picture here...So that you can see what I am talking about...

You can create a facsimile of this in PPT.

• Start with a text box and type in the desired phrase with the desired font/color
• Next select the Drawing Tools on the Ribbion.
• Under Word Art you can select a syle if you like or leave it flat.
• Select Text Effects and 3D Rotation
• Select the desired view point
• Next select box just under "Text Effects" in the lower right corner of the WordArt styles box.
• Select 3d Format
• Under Depth increase the Depth to the desired number.
• Add any shadows or reflections your heart desires.
• Now simply use the format painter and apply to other text.

Hopefully this was helpful.

Here's an example done quickly in PPTX using the above method.

Thanks Joshua...I got it...You know I tried the "Depth" route earlier, but just could not get to see any effects since I did not first do the 3D effects on it.  Dumb me - what good will depth do on a 2D object...

Very good !Nice job joshua .Thank you for sharing

I am having an issue with doing 3d rotation

I used word art to create my words then I did 3d rotation at 45degrees. It looks great in PPT but it stops the animition of having the word appear then crawl up. I know this is the issue becasue it does not do it when I dont do the rotation. Any thoughts?

If it is killing the animation you can group all the letters (if made as individual objects) and the shawdow (if used), then cut the objects and past them as a PNG. Then apply the animation.

Does this method still work? I followed the steps above in both Word and PPT but unable to apply format painter from either application to text in my Storyline project.

It still works - I think Joshua was suggesting that you can apply the format painter in PowerPoint to other text boxes in PowerPoint. Once you get the text looking the way you want in PowerPoint, you can import it to Storyline. When you import, it will come in as a graphic so will not be editable once in Storyline.
