Well, I need to do some nice 3D Text, and don't feel like wasting that much time doing this in illustrator. Anybody know any good programs?

You could try using 3d modeling software. Possibilities are endless with that option...

Use Photoshop and continuously duplicate the text layer — works fine.

Google just released the Mac version of SketchUp 6 which can do 3D text. Seems interesting, and not just for that ...
