You sure can Wallace. But that could take a lot of time to figure out.
There are thousands of good Blender tuts and they multiply hourly.
Look up this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFmvpt4Zr3k
All you need to change is the extrusion value and camera view perspective.
Any questions - ask me. Would be my pleasure to help you out.


Thanks K1TesseraEna! :bigthup

I have Blender, but didn't stick with it long enough to learn anything, haha. It is an awesome program though.

Thanks Rod.
I'm going to try out your suggestion before I delve into Blender. At least I already know Gimp.

Yeah, I hear you. I'll always be a Gimper though.

I had an older copy of Blender, but like you... I never stuck with it.

The above link is an example of a perspective image created using the multi replicate script

Thanks for the link.
That image looked good, but it still lacks the depth I'm looking to emulate. I'm going to try that script out and see what I can come up with.

Good try, but the effect behind your text is difficult at best to tell that it's suppose to be an extension of the text and not just some kind of shadow or something else, the text form is lost in the effect.

This is extremely easy to do in Hexagon but Hex is no longer free. :(

That looks really good Rod! I tried it in Blender, needless to say it took me a while just to figure out what I was doing, but this is what I got, after all was said and done.
This is my first ever Blender image.

I did try it using the way you suggested as well, but with not very good results.

Thanks K1, I had a look at a few tutorials and the one you linked me to and found out where the geometry stuff was to add dimension to text.
I wish I could say that it was easy, but it wasn't and I have a long way to go with Blender. I had trouble saving the image, I couldn't get blender to save it as a png. That's why I posted a screenshot and not a completed image.

After you get used to Blender a little more you can try something more advanced.
I did this text effect viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6747&hilit=blender+text+effect following the tutorial by Andrew Price.
Check out his Blender Guru website. You'll learn Blender quicker with his tutorials but you need to know the basic Blender.
