3D Text, Logo Help Please
Ok, theres a fairly big PSD file downloadable at:
http://zeuslogic.gvale.com/examples.rar
My problem is i made semi 3D text by playing and learning with an actionscript file. I got it to about where i can live with just because i couldent figure anything more out, however what i settled with looked bad. I believe the term is aliased or some****, but it had jagged edges. It seems to be a process of the way i am making the 3D text by using dispersed layers.
I use basically 2 layers just offset a bit, one having some basic effects like glow ect. But it looks really jagged.
To view what i mean, view the main logo text ("Zeus.Logic;") on http://zeuslogic.gvale.com/
Can someone help? To view what i want you can download my PSD (compressed to only 200k from 2ish meg).
is an example of one of the examples in the psd file. Please check the file out and help me out. assuming you want to help, you can either tell me how to fix what i did wrong, or tell me how to create one of the example logo's i give in the psd.
Keep in mind 80% of the psd file is useless, just stuff i was playing with, many layer sets just allowing me to compare diff styles.
Please help! Also note, if you download the PSD (examples.rar) that the example given (layer "Example 2") is more abouts what i like, and that the layer (if i remember right) "This is the one on my site" is the one on my site, ofcourse hehe. And there is some more explanitory text in the psd.
BIG thanks to anyone willing to help! Keep in mind im a total nub aparently, graphics and images by far are not my trade. So anyone willing to helpout would be amazingly awesome, thanks! 
*edit*
Fonts, forgot to warn you about fonts. There are two custom fonts in it, Space Age and XmasTech. Dont worry about them, i believe it will just convert it to default fonts if you dont have them right? Anyway, i tried with other fonts so its not just the fonts, more of the process. Though Space Age (the one on my site) seems to have the jagged edge thing pretty bad.
Anyway, sorry, but please help
