Start with your rounded rectangle:



Then draw three lines that converge in the same spot somewhere to the bottom right of the rectangle:



Now, using the pen tool, draw a shape like this (make sure the corners line up nicely).



Now add a gradient to the new shape, reduce the opacity and change the angle to match the angle of the middle perspective line. Here's the settings that worked for mine.



Create a new rounded rectangle below the shaded extruded layer but above the perspective lines:



Go to the layer panel and clip the extrusion layer to the new rectangle by holding ALT and clicking between the layers, the layer panel should look like this:

This can be done under Adobe Illustrator (and then optionally placed in the Photoshop document). This effect is called oblique projection. Here is the final result:


I've created an Adobe® Illustrator® Plug-in called Oblique Projection 'opo' to automate the creation process of Parallel 3D Effect (Extrude Effect). It is quick and gives you full control over the appearance of the extrusion.
Everything is on one layer so you can easily separate it from the rest of the artwork. Plus it is divided into logical parts - this way every letter (or even every part of the letter) can be modified fully independently.



Here is how I would create the effect you are asking for:

a) install ‘opo’ extension (free evaluation copy available here:
63mutants.com/subc/products/opo_m01/opo_m01.php)
b) add extra point to the lower, right corner of the rectangle (using ‘Add Anchor Point Tool’):



c) select your rounded rectangle

d) go to ‘opo’ panel, type (for example) 20px for X and -20 Y direction. Select Projection Z-Order ‘Z-‘, and ‘Solid’ Projection Type. Choose ‘Custom Projection Color’, put 153, 153, 153 into fill; leave the stroke blank (0).Hit ‘create projection’:



e) Finally, select the right side projection objects, and modify its color:
