Use Photoshop to make flame 3D words

Final effect Diagram

1. First open the material picture, select all pictures (Ctrl + A) or use the Marquee tool (M) as needed to select a part of the picture, copy (Ctrl + C). Set the foreground and background colors of the palette in the toolbar to white and black respectively. Create a new Photoshop image document with a background color of black, width and height larger than the material picture width and height, so that you can adjust it later in the steps. Paste the picture you just copied (Ctrl + V) into the new image document and rename the layer to "footage."

2, in the Layers panel, click on the "material" layer before the eye icon, the material picture hidden. Then select the Horizontal Type tool (T) and select the appropriate font and font size to enter text. Here we selected the Arial black font and the 150 pixel font size.

3, now we want to transform the text, so that it has three-dimensional perspective effect. First on the text layer on the mouse, from the right menu "grid text", the vector text into pixel images. Then choose Edit > Transform > Twist from the menu, drag the control handle, adjust and twist the text so that it is "flat" on the horizontal plane.

4, select the type layer, hold down CTRL + ALT, and then press the arrow keys down (or up) to copy the layer. Each time the arrow key is pressed, the text is copied once and the text is translated down (or up) to a pixel. The more times you copy, the greater the height of the 3D text. Here we have copied 20 times, the effect of the following figure.

5, select the "TG copy" layer, and then hold down the Shift key, click on the "TG 20" layer, select all 20 copy layers. Then select Layer > Down merge (Ctrl + E) from the menu, merge the newly selected layer, and drag the layer below the TG text layer.

6, now we have to make 3D text on the top of the surface. Click on the "material" layer of the eye icon, so that the layer from hidden into visible. Perform edit > Transform > Vertical Flip, flip the picture, and use the Move tool to move the material picture to the appropriate location to get the top surface of the 3D text that is satisfactory.

7, adjust the position, hold down the CTRL key, click the "TG" type layer of the "layer thumbnail" icon, load the text of the selection. Then click on the "footage" layer, press Ctrl + J, and Photoshop will copy the image in the selection and paste it into the new layer. Rename the layer to top surface, and drag the layer to the top of all layers.

8. Use the mouse to drag the "material" layer to the bottom of the layers panel "Create new Layer" button, copy the layer, and the copy named "Rotation footage." From the menu, select Edit > Transform > Rotate 90 degrees (counterclockwise) to rotate the material picture. Then move the material picture to the appropriate position to get a satisfactory 3D text vertical surface.

9, adjust the position, hold down the CTRL key, the left mouse button click on "TG copy 20" type layer of the "layer thumbnail" icon, load the text of the selection. Then click to select the rotate material layer and press Ctrl + J to copy the image from the selection and paste it into the new layer. Rename the layer to "vertical surface" and drag the layer below the top surface layer.

10, below we will make the text reflection effect. Hold down the CTRL key, the left mouse button click on the "TG copy 20" type layer of the "layer thumbnail" icon, load that layer of text selection. Then select the footage layer and press Ctrl + J to copy the selection to the new layer. Now hide the "TG", "TG copy 20", "Rotate material", and "footage" layers. Rename the newly copied layer to reflection, drag under the vertical surface layer, and then use the Move tool to move it down to the appropriate location and reduce its layer opacity to around 30%.

11. Create a new blank layer above the top surface layer and name it "gradient." Hold down the CTRL key, and click the "TG" type layer "layer thumbnail" icon on the left mouse button to load the selection of the layer text. Select Select > Modify > Shrink from the menu to shrink the selection by 1 pixels. Select the gradient layer, select the Gradient tool (G), select the Fade color with white-> transparency, and drag to draw a gradient effect for the selection.

12. Finally, we can add the flash effect to the high light of the text. Select the Polygon tool (U), specify the number of edges from the options bar (set to 10 in this example), click the Drop-down triangle arrow, tick the Star check box, and set the indent margin to 90%-99%, with the setting to 92%.

Now create a new layer and name it "Flash." Then drag the mouse to draw the polygon in the high light of the text, press Ctrl + ENTER, convert the polygon path to a selection, use white padding, adjust the opacity of the layer appropriately, and get the flash effect. At this point, a 3D effect word is finished.
