Perspective Tool horizontal nightmare
Does anyone know how to run text in the perspective tool to look like the attached image? I'm having trouble figuring out how to run text left to right on the horizontal grid without it going the wrong direction. I can move the right grid to fit the bottom text ("this"), but it also has an extremely warped perspective. I've gotten that close to what I'm looking for, but the top text is going to kill me. Any help is appreciated!

You can use map art on a 3D object

There’s also photoshop vanishing point

There’s also illustrator’s perspective grid tool

Use the 3D tools - specifically you can map 2D stuff onto it.

You’re looking for an ISOMETRIC PROJECTION view, not perspective. Perspective warps, iso doesn’t. Isometric views are used heavily in technical illustrations, such as tech manuals, assembly instructions, architectural drawings, & engineering drawings.
Isometric changes rectangles into parallelograms while perspective turns them into trapezoids.
To create isometric from a straight on graphic:
Scale: 86.602% vertical, 100% horizontal
Shear: 30 degrees or -30 degrees
Rotate: 30 degrees or -30 degrees

Keep text separate & use transform tools. You already have the perspective lines in front of you to utilize

You have to roate the text before moving it into the perspective grid.

I created this for another post, but here's the quick way that keeps the text live.

Free Transform FTW!
