The best place to start, is to create the text

Here I used Galant (www.1001freefonts.com) and typed the letters PSC

The next thing we need to do is convert the text layer to a regular layer:

Right click/Cmd+Click on the Layer name in the layers palette and select "Rasterize Layer."

Now comes the fun stuff!

On your text layer, press Ctrl/Cmd+T You are now in free transform mode

Right click/Cmd+Click and on the drop down menu choose "Distort."

The image part with relationship ID rId11 was not found in the file.

Drag the corner nodes out one at a time until you get a desirable angle Here the type looks perspective, zooming into the distance

Apply a layer style (Double click the layer name to bring it up.)

Choose Bevel and use similar settings as shown here

Don't forget to change the gloss contour

This should be your result If not, change the bevel settings to suit Duplicate the 3D text layer and click the eye to hide it

Now to make your text transparent: Select the type layer and open the layer styles box

On the top left you will see blending options Open it by clicking on it Drag the fill Opacity all the way to the left to make the type transparent

There you have transparent 3D text

Lets fade in some white:

Show the Duplicated type layer by clicking on the eye once again
