PS use layer styles to create a beautiful three-dimensional purple glass heart-shaped-PS tutorial

The tutorial is divided into two major parts: the background and the crystal heart shape. Fill the background with gradient, then fill the self-made pattern, and then use the filter to do some deformation processing; make the heart-shaped part a little more complex, use multiple layers, control the highlights, dark parts, details, etc., respectively, using layer styles to complete the tutorial is divided into two major parts: the background and the crystal heart shape. Fill the background with gradient, then fill the self-made pattern, and then use the filter to do some deformation processing; make the heart-shaped part a little more complex, use multiple layers, control the highlights, dark parts, details, etc., respectively, use a layer style.
Final effect



1. open Photoshop and create a new file. Set the pixel aspect ratio to a square pixel. Save the file and name it Adv Reflective Clear Style. psd. Remember to press Ctrl + S to save and update files during work.



2. double-click the background layer to open the layer dialog box. Change the name "Gradient bg (Gradient BG)" and click "OK ". Double-click the gradient BG layer to open the layer style dialog box, and then select the gradient superposition option on the left. Create a radial gradient and click the gradient editor to add gradient. the specific settings are as follows.





3. click "overlay pattern" in the left column ". Click the triangle on the right of the pattern to bring up the pattern option. in option Settings, select "art surface" and "small list", and then select "stone" mode in the pattern list option.

Then reduce the opacity to 10%, because we only need a little stone texture. Click the layer effect of the gradient stack again, change the blending mode to the front slice, and combine the effects of the two layers. Next we will add inner light to make the background more attractive.



4. inner light emits light from the inner side. We use this inner light to make a dark gradient from the edge. For example, if the hybrid mode is set to the front pane, the color is RGB (112, 199), and the size is pixels.



5. to create a circle in the background, create a custom shape and save it as a pattern. Then, we will use this dot shape to generate the pattern effect of the background dot. Create a new file and set it as follows.



6. create a new blank layer (press Ctrl + Shift + N ). Select the oval box selection tool, click the style drop-down menu in the option bar, and select a fixed size. Set the width and height to 45px. Click the upper left corner of the canvas to create a circular selection area.

If the background color is not black or white, press the D key to change the background color to black or white. Press (Alt + Backspace) to fill the selected area with black, and press Ctrl + D to cancel the selected area. Select both the selection layer and the background layer, select the mobile tool, and click the vertical center alignment and horizontal center alignment buttons in the options bar. Delete the background layer because you do not need it. Edit> define a pattern and name it "circle_45px ". This pattern is saved as a new pattern.





7. create a new blank layer in the original file and fill it with white. Double-click the layer to open the layer style option box, select the overlapping pattern, click the small triangle drop-down pattern option on the left, and select "circle_45px". on this layer, you can drag it with a mobile tool, after the location is satisfactory, you can click OK.

Of course, you can also choose Edit> fill to form the effect that the dot fills the background. The difference between the two is that the filled layer is not as movable as the layer where the pattern is superimposed in the layer style. However, the problem is that adding a pattern to a blank layer does not cause any changes, so remember to fill the layer with color first.



8. create a blank layer under the pattern layer and merge the blank layer and pattern layer. Now, the pattern layer becomes a normal layer, and its style cannot be edited. Rename the merge layer to "Circular distortion ".

Now we need to use the distortion in the filter, because we need to make a soft 3D bulge of the edge, and the soft edge can be achieved through the feathers. First, create a selection area and select the elliptical box selection tool. Shift + ALT to drag a perfect circle from the image center. If the circle position is not suitable, do not release the shift + alt key, and press the space key at the same time, you can drag the circle to the position you want. You can also draw a circle and drag the selection area to a proper position. As shown in.



9. keep the selected area available. in the options bar above, click "select"> "modify"> "feather". the feather value is 50 pixels. Click filter> twist> spherical. The number is 100%, and the mode is normal. click OK.

Now you can see the bulge in the middle of the image. Change the blending mode of the "circle pattern distortion" layer to overlay, reducing the opacity of the layer to 20%. Black points look a bit dark, not afraid, we choose the image> Adjust> reverse, the effect is out, is not very good.











10. select the custom shape tool (U) and click open custom shape selector in the option bar to open the custom shape pop-up panel. Click the setting button on the right of the panel, select the thumbnail, and then select the "Ivy 2" shape.

Click and drag the mouse to create a new Ivy shape layer. Change Tool to mobile tool (V ). At the same time, select this layer and the circle torsion layer, and select vertical center and horizontal center in the option bar. Adjust the Ivy League shape to the center.
