Now, for the Tutorial:

First, what you wanna do is open C4
You must login or register to view this content.

Next, Go to MoGraph, and select MoText. You should get something like this:
You must login or register to view this content.

Put in your desired text and font. Then change the depth to 160:
You must login or register to view this content.

Next, copy and paste the MoText, change the depth to 100 and move the text to about the middle of the original text:
You must login or register to view this content.

Keep the smaller text selected and go to the Caps tab and change both the start and end tab to Fillet Caps:
You must login or register to view this content.

Now, go to the bottom section where it says Materials and select File>New Material:
You must login or register to view this content.

Double click the material and select your desired color:

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

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:
You must login or register to view this content.

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:
You must login or register to view this content.

Exit out of Render Settings and press Render:
You must login or register to view this content.

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

You have also just completed this tutorial! Please Thank and post your results here if it worked. Also quote me with problems you are having and I will get back to them ASAP. [/b][/size]
