The extrusion produces a 3d-like effect but the lines are parallel not 
converging.  What I'd like to see is some way of distorting shapes so 
that the lines converge towards a vanishing point, i.e. give a true 3d.
For example, suppose I have some text ("hello", for example) and I want 
it to appear as if suspended vertically in the air, with a perspective 
shadow cast onto the ground from it. The shadow needs to be distorted so 
that its verticals (which are "horizontal" on the ground because of the 
projection) are converging towards a point on the imaginary horizon.
Any ideas?
