3D effects

I would like to buy a programme that can create 3D fonts etc,but on looking through the available list, it was so large that I just did not know which to choose, being a newcomer to computing.
I would be very grateful for any advice from those who have used such a programme.
May I add that this is not the first time I have asked for help, and I have found the response to previous requests of enormous help,Thanks in anticipation.

San Serif makes a number of products that may fit what you are looking for. They are relatively inexpensive and can be found at most retail stores that carry computer supplies.

 

Tom the one I use is a simple and very powerful product with allot of goodies. Here the link!
Click Here for Xara 3D.
I really like it!
