  a) buy zaxwerks invigorator
  b) Apply AE’s effect>simulation>shatter. If you use shatter to give the text depth, and remove everything around the text by shattering, it can work. Search the COW tutorials for more on that one.

  Invigorator is probably better for you, though.

  Create your text layer.

  Turn on the 3D Switch for the layer.

  Duplicate the layer 5 or 6 times.

  Offset the z-position of each layer by 2 or 3 from each othe (example: text layer one z-position=0, text layer two z-position=2, text layer three z-position=4, etc.)

  Parent the duplicate layers to the original text layer or pre-comp.

  Instant 3-D text from just about every camera angle as long as you don’t zoom in too tight!!

  Digital Anarchy has a plug in called 3D layer that’ll do this…
