Making 3D Text in After Effects

I have recently been on hiatus trying to find a new job and haven’t had an internet connection to blog lately.  So I’m sitting here in a Panera Bread Company using their free Wifi.  Lovely… So this post is going to be geared around asking a question that I’ve had for After Effects for quite awhile.  How do you make 3d text in Adobe After Effects.  Making 3d text has always been something that I’ve always wanted to do.  So I set out to find out how to do it.  There are some free resources here that answer this question so hopefully you can use it. As a side note there...
