Using PS to create sci-fi art fonts

I heard that the north is very cold oh, fortunately I in Shenzhen (￣▽￣ ") ╭

This tutorial, I did it myself, so you will find all layer style panels are Chinese, simply industry Conscience O (￣ヘ￣o*)

In this tutorial, we will use the layer style, filters and other tools to create a brilliant sci-fi art font.

Let's take a look at the final effect:

1-1, first we create a new canvas: 1100*410, background color filled to black, font color set to #d4aa3f, size 170px, placed in the middle of the canvas (font at the end of the package download, the font name here is: Spy Agency Regular):

1-2, add an inner shadow to the text, set as follows:

1-3. Add an inner glow to the text, set as follows:

1-4, and then add a gradient overlay, set as follows:

After you have done this, your present effect should be this:

2-1. Now copy the text layer once, delete the layer style just added, set the fill value to 0, and add a bevel and emboss style to it, setting as follows:

2-2, and then a light-emitting, set as follows:

The effect is as follows:

3-1, now create a new layer, hold down the CTRL key, select the text selection on the type layer, and then zoom out, set the narrowing value to 4 pixels, and then fill a new layer with a color, set the fill value to 0, and start adding the layer style. First, a bevel and emboss, set as follows:

3-2, and then an inner shadow, set as follows:

3-3, and then a gradient, set as follows:

After you have done this, you should have the same effect:

4-1. Now we need to add some small diamond to the middle of the text to decorate it, how to draw the diamond? Let's set the brush first:

4-2, then we create a new layer, with the brush tool in the middle of the letter to draw some white dots, if you are afraid to grasp, you can use the Path Pen tool, first according to the shape of letters to draw some auxiliary line, like this:

4-2, then add white dots to each letter in turn:

4-3, now start to add some effect to the white point, let it become a diamond. First, a bevel and emboss, set as follows:

4-4, then the outer glow, set as follows:

4-5, the last to a projection:

Well, now your effect should be this:

5-1. Now merge all layers except the black background layer (for just in case, it is recommended to group these layers and then merge them later). We add some effect to the merged layer, first the inner shadow, set as follows:

5-2, and then a light-emitting, set as follows:

5-3, followed by a color overlay, color value of #d4b38e, set as follows:

5-4, another pattern overlay (here needs to customize a pattern, first find a satin picture, fold more, and then go color, size to 128*128, and then execute edit "definition pattern"), set as follows:

5-5, the last to an outer glow:

You get the following effect:

6, copy a layer, the effect just added to remove, and then execute the "filter blur" Gaussian blur, the value of 2, and then set the layer blending mode to soft light, the results are as follows:

7-1, duplicate a layer, the effect is removed, put the copy layer to the top, and then perform the Go Color command (ctrl+shift+u), and then perform the "filter" Filter Library Twist "Ocean Ripple", set as follows:

7-2, to the layer just add a Gaussian blur, 1--1.5 pixels are all rows, and then the blending mode to overlay, opacity set to 50%, get the following effect:

8-1, this step, we want to add some floating small stones. How do you draw these tiny floating things? Let's start by customizing a brush. First create a new canvas, 30*30, fill the black, then "edit" to define the brush preset, click OK in the window, we will customize a brush. Then we set the brush parameters, spacing 190%, size jitter 70%, angle jitter 100%, scatter 630%. After setting, create a new layer, start to add small stones to the screen, this can be added according to their own feelings, the brush can be resized at any time. After painting, perform Gaussian blur, as long as the 0.2-0.5 pixel can:

8-2, the stone to add a bevel and relief effect, set as follows:

8-3, and then add a gradient overlay to the small stones, set as follows:

8-3, and then give it a projection, look more like floating in the above:

Get the following effect:

9. Now we're going to add some halo light to the small rocks, which radiate from the center, let the screen look more stereo, the basic method is to duplicate a layer of stone, the effect is removed, and then add a mask, erase the upper left corner, and then perform the "filter blur" dynamic blur, the value according to their own feelings to tune, I set this here is 48, so that the upper left corner of the halo light out, and then Efaro the remaining three direction of Halo, the following effect:

10-1, copy a layer of text layer, put to the top, the layer style removed, and then perform "filter blur" dynamic blur, set a distance of 93 pixels, and then set the layer blending mode to point light, opacity 35%, get the following effect:

10-2, or copy a layer of text, put to the top, remove the layer style, and then add a level adjustment layer (only to the role of the adjustment layer), set as follows:

10-3, the implementation of "filter blur" Gaussian blur, as long as 0.2-0.4 pixels, and then add an inner glow to it, set as follows:

10-4, at this time the layer blending mode is set to soft light, opacity 30% (can be adjusted according to their own feeling), get the following effect:

11, create a new layer, and select the entire screen with the selection tool, then set the foreground color to #db92b5, set the background color to #000000, perform the "Filter Render" cloud, and then set the layer blending mode to soft light and get the effect as follows (if you feel dissatisfied, you may press the "Ctrl+f" key, To adjust the screen):

12, create a new layer, fill color #157ba5, change its blending mode to color, opacity to 15%, then copy a layer of text to the top, deactivate the glow effect, then create a new blank layer, merge the text copy layer and the blank layer, and set the new layer blending mode to color Dodge , opacity 65%, the following effect:

13, now we can open the light effect material bag, the mood chooses the light effect which oneself likes, we may through the filter color, the curve, the hue/the saturation and so on the way, creates oneself wants the picture:

In the process of doing, the original author did not write the process of the stone is very detailed, this is my own way to find out, there should be a better way than this, I hope someone who knows can share.

This is my final picture:
