AI and PS combined to make beautiful ligatures three-dimensional words

The tutorial process seems to be a lot, and it's not that complicated. The purpose of the author's use of AI is to make a smoother font and a simple stereo effect. If PS skilled, all can be completed in PS.

The general process: first set up the desired text or graphics, and then slowly three-dimensional, by the light need to set a high light and dark tone, to make crystal texture. Finally render good color and add reflection and so on.

Final effect

1, open illustrator new RGB document, 1000px * 800px,72dpi, write some text, slightly larger font. I use Marketing script font, font size 234pt.

2, select text, Object > extension, click "OK" button. Now that our text is no longer editable text, it has become a path that needs to be edited using the direct selection tool.

3, now, our letters are grouped together, we want to make them into one path. It can be done with the "union" under the Pathfinder. If you do not open the Pathfinder Panel, window > Pathfinder, open the Panel, select the Path, and click "Set".
