Let's take a look at the final effect chart:
Introduction and preparation
This series of tutorials is a continuation of the tutorial Super malleable Lines (this is the tutorial). This has some similar effects, but it is reflected from different angles. In the first part of this tutorial, we will focus on how to create 3D text and splash effects. First, to create 3D text, you need to download the demo version of Xara 3d6, or you can use Adobe Illustrator to create (Xara 3d6 can go down to research but all birds), but I strongly recommend that you use Xara this (this sentence does not represent the dynamic box stance). Also need to download from cgtextures.com stained metal texture image (This picture does not find stuffy!).
Step 1: How to start
The best way to start is to find the right color for the letters. In this tutorial, the background color is very sunny, give us a very warm feeling. Here we will use cold tones.
First we need to create a new document with a 1350 * 1600px resolution of 300px/inch. Create a new layer and make a simple color match. Instead of using the first color you choose, try a few different shades. An ugly background color often destroys hard work. (In simple terms, you want to try a few more colors)
Now we've found a good match color, using the Paint bucket tool (G) to fill the new layer with #166a91. Name this layer as "background" (background).
Step 2: The depth of the background
Now what we need is to give this background some vitality! Again, it takes some time to find the right color and try to use some proper cold tones. I'm talking about finding some deep or light blue. The color I use is shown in the following figure. If you have selected some nice darker colors (or if you have questions about your choice, use the color of the image below-the particular color I use). Using the Brush tool (B), set the flow 5%, hardness to 0%, and make your brush diameter very large, as you can see in the figure below. Create a new layer, named "Bg_color", with this large brush in the corner smear. The new color of each brush is applied to its own new layer.
Try to smear a different place, basically the edge is black, the middle is bright. So you get some irregular gradients, which is exactly what we want.
