3D arrow with shade and text with tikz
I want to create a figure as shown with latex/tikz. It contains a three-axis space, 3D arrow with text inside and shadows, and 3D-rotated axis titles etc. Only other examples I find are about 3D arrowheads without shadow. Can someone help me achieve this please? I am open to alternatives to tikz as well, as long as it is created in Latex.

Could you please show us which 3D arrow you are referring to?

The blue one in the picture with "Name" on it.

I am referring to your statement "Only other examples I find are about 3D arrowheads without shadow." This seems to suggest that already have found some suitable 3D arrow, and I would like to ask you to add it with the code to your question.

Oh sorry. I am referring to this tex.stackexchange.com/questions/51340/… However, as you see those arrows are rather different from what I need.

Note that I have a very weak internet connection at the moment, so I'd like to ask you to refrain from asking for many small corrections in many comments.

Can you add the text on the blue arrow ("name" in my example above)? When I add it within the third scope, it comes as strangely flipped.

Could you please show us which 3D arrow you are referring to?

The blue one in the picture with "Name" on it.

I am referring to your statement "Only other examples I find are about 3D arrowheads without shadow." This seems to suggest that already have found some suitable 3D arrow, and I would like to ask you to add it with the code to your question.

Oh sorry. I am referring to this tex.stackexchange.com/questions/51340/… However, as you see those arrows are rather different from what I need.
