This tutorial introduces a multi-level method of making glass lettering. Roughly divided into two major parts to complete. The first part is the production of the glass word, with the layer style to complete. The second part is the level of text and light sense rendering, this step is very important, because the first step to do a good job is very common, later appropriate to add some borders, rendering a high light, the effect will be different.
Final effect
| 1. The new layer foreground color is set to #424100, the background color is set to #161400, and the gradient tool's diamond gradient is used to make a gradient from the center to the corner. |
| 2, load the nostalgic color clouds, adjust the size of the layer blending mode for soft light. |
| 3, use Horizontal type tool, font is marbold, size is 250 pixel, character distance adjusts to 75, font color is #47460e. |
| 4, copy the text layer, the text layer copy fill to 0. |
| 5, double-click the type layer, apply the layer style, outer glow: Layer blending mode for brightness, size 16, color for #fcfcfb. |
| 6. Inner Glow: Blending mode is bright, color is #fcfcfb, Source: Middle, size 30. |
| 7, Gloss: Mode: Overlay, color #6f9ad0. |
| 8, Gradient overlay: Blending mode overlay, opacity 45%, gradient style: symmetric, scaling 85%. |
| 9, the next to depict the light in the text. |
| 10, double-click the text layer copy, apply bevel and Emboss style: Inner bevel, carving clear, size 20, luster contour: cone-invert, anti-aliasing, high light mode: overlay, color #e2e2e2, shadow mode: Multiply the bottom, the color is #7d7d7d. |
| 11, Contours: Contour lines: Gaussian distribution--inversion, anti-aliasing. |
| 12, next to the layer to increase the brightness effect. |
| 13, create a new 20*64 transparent layer, use the rounded pen brush three different diameter of the circle, execute: image-image size, adjust the size to 5*16. |
| 14. Execute: Edit--Define brush preset, name brush: stroke. |
| 15, return the layer to open the Brush tool (Window---brush), shape Dynamic: control: direction. |
| 16. Create a new layer between two text layers, named strokes, with the foreground color set to #a7a400. |
| 17. Right-click one of the text layers to execute: Create a work path. |
| 18, select the Direct Path tool to ensure that the layer is a stroke layer, right-click the path, select the stroke path. |
| 19, select the Brush tool to eliminate the simulation pressure. |
| 20, the effect is as follows: |
| 21, click: Create fill or adjust the layer, select: Photo filter. |
| 22, select the red filter. |
| 23, create a new layer above the copy layer, named for the flower fire, blending mode to light, the foreground color set to #f4edd3, use the brush in need of brush in the position of a two bright spots. |
| 24, create a new layer below the copy layer, named scattering line, layer blending mode for brightness, opacity 70%. |
| 25, use the pen to brush out some beautiful light. |
| 26. Finally, create a new layer on top of the background layer, name it as nostalgic light, set the foreground color to #424100, and use the nostalgic pen to brush out some of the lines of the diagram. Here's the final effect, and then you can think about adding some color to make the image more nostalgic. |
| 27, a new layer on top of the stroke layer, named color, layer blending mode is hue. |
| 28, the use of large flexible angle round brush, add some color for the layer, use the color for #00709e and 960014, you can also try different colors. |
| 29, if the color is too bright, you can adjust the opacity of the layer. |
