Photoshop font Effects Tutorial: 3D visual Effects text

First, let's start with the nonsense. Do three-dimensional word can be used in many ways, the effect of the best, of course, or professional 3D software to do good, such as 3DS MAX, Maya and so on, can make a lot of special, lifelike stereo effect. But in the commonly used website topics, some quality ads with 3D, a general 3D software plane and web design play is not very turn, and secondly is some effect more time-consuming. So now the AI,CDR and so on can do some simple 3D effect, and then in the process with PS, you can make some basis can highlight the theme of 3D text special effects to improve the theme page, print ads visual effects.

Okay, here's the crap, get started.

Effect Chart:

First of all, the tool to be used, is the AI (preferably version high and not streamlined, because after testing, some of the low and compact version of the 3D effect is not very good, radian is not fine enough, the gap is clear), and PS (this with their own liking,

With the right can be, here I use the CS5)

1. Open the AI, create a new document (document parameters you can freely, because the finished product is not in the AI to do, and finally dragged to the PS to do the effect. Do not have to imitate, only for sharing experience).

2. Select the Text tool, input text (text you can also be arbitrary, the reason above), adjust the text parameters, choose a curvature is not a lot of fonts (if the curvature is too much, late adjustment is not too convenient to color, of course,

We can try more, learn without a formula. Adjust the appropriate size (size does not matter, because the creation of a vector file, you can enlarge at any time, but it is recommended to do the size you want, so that you can introduce some

Trouble and convenient adjustment parameters), and the previous bright color (pure black because there is no reflective, so in the 3D effect, do not see the stereo effect.)

3. Using the AI 3D tools, the text will be made into a dimensional effect, adjust the parameters to their satisfaction position.

Step: A. Select text, perform menu bar à effect à3dà extrude and Bevel

B. Select the preview, as well as click More options to adjust the light effect, achieve satisfactory results, and adjust the thickness, perspective, perspective, light and other parameters.

Note: If the effect of the adjustment is not very satisfactory, want to modify, do not need to go to the front to redo these steps, with the appearance of the parameters of the pick can directly mediate before the effect of the Panel, other operations (such as path offset, etc.)

You can do that too.

3. Expand the appearance of 3D text, the expansion out of the one-sided regroup, so that we better do behind the effect.

Step: A. Select text, execute, menu bar à object à expand appearance.
