The creative approach to the tutorial is very good. It also uses the layer style to set the text, but the author uses the selection to extract part of the text, and move the position appropriately, which results in a similar glass cracking effect. The effect is very realistic.
Final effect
1. Open Photoshop to create a new file with a size of 1280 * 800 pixels. We need to give the background a nice gradient and use the gradient tool (G) to apply a radial gradient around the lower-right corner of the file. I use a combination of colors for #2e5b15– #103533 – #090e13.
2, now use the Type tool (T) to enter any text you choose, I use the ' Trajan Pro ' font entered the Richworks, which is one of my favorite fonts, it can well adapt to a lot of text effects. I used the bold text style, the color set to #41a993, and don't forget to change the opacity of the fill on the layers panel to 50%, to get the initial transparency of the text. In addition, changing the transparency of a fill does not affect the appearance of the layer style.
3, in the layer of the layers of the grid text, double-click on the text layer to open the Layer style window. Now to do a series of attempts to set different values, I finally decided to use the following settings. Apply the layer style as shown in the following figure.
