   Ha ha... maybe I should have a support structure in behind them. Like the HOLLYWOOD letters.

   Agreed, I really like those shadows. They really make that text! I want to see more of this...

   Is there a method here other than 'smart use of lots of layers'?

   Well... I tried using Photoshop's 3D tools to make the shadows, but ended up going the "smart use of lots of layers" route.

   Here's a side by side... http://d.pr/4fwn

   I was able to get the text a lot more crisp on the top version by converting it to outlines, and then snapping it to the pixel grid.

   The outlines of the letters are SO much more crisp in the manual render..

   shadows are not easy to execute but you make it look so easy.

    Maybe I'm a novice, but how many layers are you actually using to make those shadows? I feel like it would be just two with some layer masks...

    @ Anthony... You're no novice. I'm only using 2 :)
