Fireworks mx Halo light text effects four ways to make a detailed explanation

In this section, we'll learn how to make a halo effect. Here we have a total of four kinds of effects of the halo-light effect map, in the subsequent explanation we will be the way to make a presentation, I hope this section of the tutorial can help you to create Halo-light effects. Look at the effect chart first.


　　

"Action Steps"

The first kind of Halo light effect Word production method:

1, the editing area of the background color set to black, in the edit area input text "Night", Font selection "Times New Roman", the font size is "96" size, Font color for "#003399", Font with "bold", "Tilt" settings, the text object of the editing area will be shown below.

2, select the text object, choose the Properties Panel on the effect menu of the "Shadow and Halo | Inside Glow" effect command, in the pop-up settings box to make the relevant settings, the color set to white, the rest of the specific settings see the figure below.

3, in the text object is still selected, select the effect menu of the "Shadow and Halo | Glow" effect command, in the pop-up set box to set the relevant settings, the color set to "#0000FF", the rest of the specific settings refer to the figure below.

4. The text object in the edit area will be shown in the following figure.

5, the Selection effect menu, "Adjust the color | reverse" effect command, the editing area of Halo text effects generated.

"Note" "Reverse" effect command of the use of the unexpected results, and here generated Halo text Stereo effect is also relatively good.

The first kind of Halo light effect word production to this end, pay attention to keep the production of the source files do not throw away, because the following second method of production will be used to this file.

The second kind of Halo light effect Word production method:

1, the use of the first production method to make a successful source file, continue the operation of the following steps.

2, select the text object, press the "Ctrl+shift+d" key combination, continuously clone two of the same text object, and the two clone object layer blending mode is changed to "color multiplication" mode. As shown in the following figure.

3, the two clone objects in different directions to move the position of 1~2 pixels, so as to achieve the final some faint halo effect, as shown in the following figure.

The second method of production here is over, in fact, separate it out some far-fetched, after all, it and the first production method is integrated, but the effect is different, or take out more clearly.

The third kind of Halo light effect Word production method:

1, the editing area of the background color set to black, enter the text "Night" in the edit area, font selection "Times New Roman", the font size is "96" size, font color is white, font with "bold", "Tilt" settings, the text object of the editing area will be shown below.

4, the clone of the two text layer to the left and right direction each move 1~2 pixel distance, the specific distance can be determined according to the actual graphics effect, the final graphic effect will be shown in the following figure.

The third method of production is explained here, the application of layer blending mode and its color correlation adjustment play an important role in the realization of the final effect.

The fourth kind of Halo light effect Word production method:

1, the editing area of the background color set to black, enter the text "Night" in the edit area, font selection "Times New Roman", the font size is "96" size, font color is white, font with "bold", "Tilt" settings, the text object of the editing area will be shown below.

2. Select the text object, select the menu command text | Convert to path, click the Ungroup button on the toolbar, and then click the Merge button on the toolbar to convert the text object to a merged path object. You can see from the layers panel that the text object has been converted to a "synthetic path" object, as shown in the following figure.

3. Select the Path object, select the "blur | Gaussian blur" effect command in the effect menu of the property panel, and make the setting shown in the "Gaussian Blur" setting box below.

The objects in the edit area are shown in the following illustration.

4, select the Path object, press "Ctrl+shift+d" key combination, clone a new Path object. Select the Clone object, delete its "Gaussian blur" effect setting in the property panel effect area, and then select the menu command "Modify | change | path | Flex path" to make the setting shown in the "Flex Path" box below.

The effect of the edit area is shown in the following illustration.

5, in the editing area to draw a rectangular object, size to be able to cover the path object, the rectangular object drawn here covers the entire editing area, the fill color is blue. Adjust the layer position on the Level Panel and drag it to the middle of the two path objects, as shown in the following figure.

The editing area now appears as shown in the following illustration.

6, click on the layer of the Rectangle object, adjust its layer blending mode to "color multiplication", as shown in the following figure.

The Halo text effect for the edit area has already appeared, as shown in the following figure.

7, continue to the top of the path object to do some other effect command processing. Select the Shadow and Halo | Inner Glow Effect command from the Effects menu to set the setting in the Pop-up settings box to set the color to "#000099" and the rest of the settings as shown in the figure below.

After setting, the editing area's halo text effects are shown in the following illustration.

So far, the fourth kind of Halo light text effects of the production end, this example is worth mentioning is the 5th step to add the rectangle, some friends may feel that this step is somewhat inexplicable, in fact, you can try to change the effect after the creation of the rectangle's fill color, found what, The halo color changes as the color of the rectangle changes. And through this method to achieve the halo effect and pure use of "light-emitting" effect of the command generated by the results are not the same, we can test themselves.

Well, this section of the tutorial is all over, in this section, with a larger space to introduce four kinds of Halo light text production methods, the use of various effect commands and the flexible layer blending mode adjustment so that the halo effect has become ever-changing. See what you can do to better the halo effect text!
