Photoshop CS3: 3D Text
This is a fine tutorial on Photoshop about getting fantastic results spending very less energy. Getting a 3D effect for text does not seem to be so easy. No one can think it is that simple until watching this video.
This tutorial is conducted by Jasmine from Shimmer City. Watch this video for correct narration speed and to the point instruction. The voice is sweet and soft, having a kind of authority. It is obvious that Jasmine is master in Photoshop. One can sense the mastery by the way she jumps from one thing to another. A must see for Photoshop students!
All right, here we go again, so it’s Jasmine from Shimmer City and this time I’ll be showing you how to make really cool umm… 3D looking text using Photoshop CS3 of course.
So, firstly we’re going to do is open up a color scheme that you want to use for the text you’re going to do. So I’m just going to take something ok, this one. All right, and now open up a new document by going to file and new. Make sure that the width is 500 and your height is 300 and then click OK. Hu…hu…
All right, so I’m on that very first layer. Select your text tool and type in what ever it is that you want a..m…, that you wanted to say so I’m just going to use my sites name and I recommend using a feather text sort of board seeking a better quality or better final product, whatever.
And I’m going to use text called Bubble Gun. Its really mean in my opinion, if you know if you guys want I could always give you the link to get it or you can go to dufa.com and search it, but anyways, you.. once you type in what you want, you can go to you’re a.. color scheme over here and transfer those colors on to the text that you just wrote down.
So, I’m going to Pause the video and will continue in a minute. All right, so this is what I have so far. So, once you got your colors the way you want to look, or the text you wanted to look, select your a.. first layer, your text layer that you have there and go to right click, er.. right click here and select Blending options.
Once there, a.. you can click on drop shadow and don’t change anything and then go to Bubble and Emboss and once you’re there, leave everything in the structure part a.. untouched, and then go down to the Shading section right here and for the Engulf, make it 169 and Altitude, make it 74.
Right, so once you done with that, you can go to Pattern Overlay and with Pattern Overlay, you can select any pattern that you want to use.
I’m going to use a.. a zero pattern here and I’m going to make the scale a little bit smaller and I’m going to make Opacity about a.. anywhere from 15 to 25% and sometimes I do 30 but I think 15, err… I mean 25 looks pretty good right now and I’m just going to find a size that looks good.
I don’t think I’m going to use this zebra pad… and lets go to this one here, ok… all right. I’m just going to stick with this one and am.. I’m going to set the size to about scale to about 50% and it should look something like that.
So, once you done with that, you can go to a.. Stroke and make your Fill type Pattern and then find your Scheme line Pattern and a.. with the size of the Scheme line, you can use one, two or three. Two looks really good but if you like a.. you know, to be really nice, you could use three.
And I’m going to use three for this one and then there’s some 3D looking text. So, I hope this helped you and a.. there’s going to be more text tutorials coming such like little tags and I probably figure out how to do some more but if this helps, let me know and if you want any other tutorials done, I’ll see what I could do. So, thanks for watching and keep checking back for more tutorials.
