Create a 3D Gold Text Effects





In this tutorial, I will be teaching you how to create an awesome 3D Gold Text Effect in Photoshop. We will be using several layers styles and a metal texture to give the gold text a more realistic appearance. Let’s get started!

Step 1)

Open Photoshop and go to File > New (or CTRL+N) to create a new document. I will be creating a 900 pixels x 400  pixels document at 72 pixels/inch resolution. Color Mode: RGB 8 bit. Background: Transparent.

Step 2)

Go to Edit > Fill > Color… and use the color code #797c80 to fill the background.

Step 3)

Right click the layer and go to Blending Options. We will now set the layer styles using the settings below.
Inner Glow – Blend Mode: Normal, Opacity: 43%, Color: #000000, Size: 90px

Gradient Overlay – Blend Mode: Soft Light, Opacity: 90%, Gradient: #db1b1c-#900000, Style: Radial, Angle: 90

Pattern Overlay – Blend Mode: Soft Light, Pattern: Using the dropdown we will go to Load Patterns and choose the bg-pattern.pat file that was including at the top.

Step 4)

Set foreground color to #d3aa2d. Using the horizontal type tool we will now write out text using settings – Font: Bebas Neue, Font-Size: 300px, Tracking: 10

Step 5)

Right click the text layer and go to Blending Options. We will now set the layer styles using the settings below.
Inner Shadow – Blend Mode: Color Burn #000000, Opacity: 30%, Angle: -90, Distance: 3px, Size: 30px

Inner Glow – Blend Mode: Linear Burn, Opacity: 20%, Color: #000000, Size: 20px

Color Overlay – Color: #4c4c4c, Opacity: 60%

Gradient Overlay – Blend Mode: Linear Light, Opacity: 10%, Gradient: #262626 Location: 1% | #999999 Location: 24% | #515151 Location: 41% | #FFFFFF Location: 57% | #6d6d6d Location: 77% | #7c7c7c Location: 86% | #e4e4e4 Location: 99% (BE SURE TO NAME GRADIENT AS 3DGOLD AND CLICK NEW TO SAVE IT WE WILL NEED IT AGAIN)

Pattern Overlay – Blend Mode: Overlay, Pattern: Using the dropdown we will go to Load Patterns and choose the metal-texture.pat file that was including at the top, Scale: 25%

Outer Glow – Blend Mode: Normal, Opacity: 5%, Color: #000000, Size: 7px

Drop Shadow – Blend Mode: Linear Burn #000000, Opacity: 25%, Angle: 120, Distance: 2px, Size: 10px

Step 6)

Right click the text layer and duplicate it. Right click the new copy layer and click Clear Layer Styles. Open Character tab now (if you dont have it check it under Window > Character) and set tracking to 10.

Step 7)

Right click the top copy text layer we just created now and go to Blending Options. We will now set the layer styles using the settings below.
Bevel & Emboss – Style: Inner Bevel, Technique: Chisel Hard, Depth: 500%, Size: 0px, Soften: 0px, Angle: 135, Highlight Mode: Overlay #FFFFFF | Opacity: 100%, Shadow Mode: Linear Light #FFFFFF | Opacity: 30%

Contour – Contour: Cove-Deep, Range: 50%

Inner Shadow – Blend Mode: Overlay #000000, Opacity: 10%, Angle: -50, Distance: 15px, Size: 10px

Satin – Blend Mode: Color Dodge #FFFFFF, Opacity: 10%, Angle: 135, Distance: 14px, Size: 18px

Gradient Overlay – Blend Mode: Overlay, Opacity: 100%, Gradient: Choose Step 5 gradient we saved, Angle: 90

Pattern Overlay – Blend Mode: Overlay, Opacity: 100%, Pattern: metal-texture, Scale: 25%

Drop Shadow – Blend Mode: Multiply #1c1d1d, Opacity: 50%, Angle: 100, Distance: 20px, Size: 20px

Step 8)

Now we need to align the text layers so the 3D effect is appropriate. Select both text layers by clicking one then holding CTRL down while clicking the other. With both selected go to Select > All (CTRL+A), choose the Move Tool and click on Align vertical centers and Align horizontal centers. We are done now!

Use x-ray techniques in Photoshop to show naked skin through clothing

    Do those new naked body scanners have you freaked out at the airports? As far as the TSA is concerned, those x-ray machines are here to stay, but you might as well take comfort in knowing that airport security guards aren't the only ones looking at your private parts. Practically anyone with a computer can manage to see through your clothes, and it's all thanks to a little program called Photoshop. Thanks, Adobe. With a few tweaks using the tools in Photoshop, you can see those boobs in no time, male or female. The video is in German, but it's not hard to figure our what's going on, especially if you're familiar with Photoshop. First, create a few duplicate layers, then get a handle on some of these tools to make the naked body through the clothes: * Auswahl erstellen (Create Selection) * Tonwertspreizung (Input Levels) * Belichtung (Exposure) You can also do this see-through clothing effect in free design programs, such as  GIMP .

Royal 3D Text Effect in Photoshop CS6

  Just make sure to check the 3D settings under Edit -> Preferences -> Performance, and Edit -> Preferences -> 3D. Default values should work fine, but if anything seems to be not working properly you can always check those settings.
