Next, copy and paste the MoText, change the depth to 100 and move the text to about the middle of the original text:

Now go to the Reflection tab, click the arrow next to Texture and select Fresnel. After that, change the blurriness to 15%:

Click the X to exit out and drag that material to the original text:

Now make another material and change it to another color you like with the same settings. Then, drag it to the text you copied and pasted:

Now long click the four arrows and select the floor:

Now make a new material, make a color black, Reflection>Fresnel, change the blurriness to about 40%, and drag it to your floor:

Now you are basically done, but the text portion is only half the work. The next section will teach you how to begin the infamous "rendering" process.
Okay, after you have all those things done with the text and you're satisfied with the angle, go to Render>Render Settings:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Click save, and where it says File: click the button on the right, save it wherever and name it wherever. Change the format to PNG and leave alpha channel unchecked:

Exit out of Render Settings and press Render:

Congratulations! You have started the rendering process! This can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 days.
