Pre-tutorial needs to use 3D software such as: Xara, such as the first monochrome 3D word, and then add the effect to Photoshop. Tutorial only the process of the reference map, many of the specific settings are not detailed values, the production time only when the reference!
Final effect
1, from the use of 3D software to create a separate letter to start, and then import them into a Photoshop file. Keep each letter in a separate layer and put them on top of each other as you like. It may be awkward to do 3D material in this way, but Photoshop has better control over 3D software and you will be able to make a richer impact.
2. One of the advantages of using Photoshop is that the letters can be blocked and obscured at the same time. You need to use the cover part of other independent letters to make it appear to be behind other letters to accomplish this effect. Let's start by adding a masking layer to the appropriate letter to block out a part of the letter. The next step is to select the letter you want it to be in front of--as shown in the above picture, we chose the letter E to make it appear to have a part in front of H.
Select its outline by pressing the thumbnail of the layer on the same point in the CTRL key. Use the brush tool to darken H's mask layer. It should now look like the bottom of E is in front of H. Repeat the above on the letter you like.
