Photoshop designed to produce lifelike wall carvings with a very layered projection effect

The effect of the picture seems more complex, mastered the method is very simple. The focus of the tutorial is the layer style and shape of the application, just to change the text into shapes and other shapes combined, and then use the layer style to increase the relief and projection, the effect came out.

Final effect

1, first I paste into a wall of material.

2, Ctrl + J, copy one layer.

3, filters-Other-high contrast retention.

4, change the blending mode to "overlay", strengthen the background "potholes" effect.

5, add a color fill layer, color code see figure, reduce the transparency slightly, blending mode to "darken", here I'm by the way why don't I create a new layer to fill the color directly, by creating a new fill or adjustment layer underneath the layer, the color layer This creates a color layer or a gradient layer with a "smart object" feature that is easily modified.

6, continue to create a black and white radial gradient layer, blending mode to "overlay", the reason for my transparency to 70% is because I think the dark place is too dark.

7, so far, the background is completed. Add a rectangle shape, color doesn't matter, eventually I won't use the color. Ctrl+j copy a layer.

8, ctrl+t free transform edit this copied rectangle, open the reference point positioning, move 100 pixels to the right.

9, press ESC to cancel the rectangular shape of the path display, shift+ctrl+alt+t copy the shape, every time after each copy of the ESC cancel path show continue to copy, you need to arrange how many letters to copy a few rectangular shape, so that all the rectangular shapes in a rectangle for the order of one layer, Here I arrange the six letters according to the original, all of which I copied 5 layers.

10, select all the rectangular shape layer, the fill transparency to 0.

11, double-click the first rectangular layer into the layer style, add bevel relief.

12, there are projections.

13, copy the layer style, paste to the other 5 rectangular layer.

14, I found a similar English font on a website.

15, download the installation completed, enter a line of letters, the letter layer on the right button to shape, and then I counted several letters, the original is seven, but added a rectangle.

16, click on the letter layer in front of the eyes hidden letters, press A to select the first letter of the path, horizontal movement arrangement position.

17, Ctrl+x cut and pasted on the first rectangular layer, by the way the name of this rectangular layer changed to this letter.

18, continue to select R in the letter layer, move position, like me if you think this letter can also modify the appearance of the words can be slightly changed.

19, after the cut in the second rectangular layer of paste, followed by the shear paste.

20, next to solve a problem, notice my circle in the shadow of the dark? Those shadows are copied. The rectangle is formed after adding the layer style, and the solution is to pull the rectangle's side wide.

21, select a rectangular layer, press A to click on the path of the rectangle, Ctrl+t left the canvas outside the place, the first letter of the shadow disappeared.

22, followed by the completion of a few letters.

23. You'll probably think it's done, but I don't think so. It seems to be a bit like the original style, but there are some details to be solved, those projections and bevel relief of the high light to deal with, in order to let you understand the problem where, I drew a schematic, the original image to represent a ladder effect, is a cascade on top of another layer, when a light source at a certain point, Its illumination intensity and the distance of the projection will change, as I would like to express in the schematic below, the intensity of the illumination will decay and the shadow will change.

24, as shown in the previous schematic, I adjust these letters one by one, the value of the layer style, the distance from the nearest light source of course will be shorter, the edge of the shadow will not be very "virtual."

25, to 4 pixels as the standard, followed by the completion of all the letters.

26, the original image of the background layer seems particularly dark, all I added on the last letter layer of the extra glow.

27, now the letter P and O seems to be the same, all I processed to show the difference.

28, there is also the circle above the J is very unsightly.

Final effect:
