Start out with an simple pattern.

Type in whatever you want.

Fill in that text with the same pattern you used for the
background. You can't see it here but its there.

Use these settings, or tweak them and experiment.

And there's the shadow you just made.

Move the shadow up so that its just a little below the
original text.

![31tx8.JPG (8133 bytes)](../images/free/tut/3D%20Cut%20out%20Text_files/31tx8.jpg)
Copy and paste that shadow, then make it negative.

![31tx9.JPG (7700 bytes)](../images/free/tut/3D%20Cut%20out%20Text_files/31tx9.jpg)
Send that white shadow to the back while keeping it a
little higher than the original text and there you have
it!
