where the 3d text extends back towards a point.
This was done easily in Xara3D, but I need a way to do it in PS, cos Xara res is only 72dpi.

That would be more of a job for the REAL vector tool in the Adobe stable, Illustrator.

Thanks bro, highly appreciated.

There are many designing tools where you can design this 3D Text.It is not big deal.Maya is also one of them where you can do this work.

yeah yeah dedicated 3d software can easily do this, but I dont want to do it in PS if possible without buying $4000 of additional software an then trying to learn them.

Guess that depends on what VERSION of PS you have, CS4 does a decent job of making 3D effects like that.

You might want to try something like Xara - it does vector at a fraction of the price for Illustrator.
