I've been a faithful photoshop user for quite some time now, but today I got wickedly impressed by this tiny software that features this awesome specular highlighting technique that photoshop does not do by default.This software is called "Art Text 2"H! I had prepared some image links but cause I'm so new I can't put them.[URL]...
As you can see, the bevel reflection is created using the specular information of the "sphere map". Furthermore the program allows you to change the sphere map highlights interactively, and even choose your own image sphere maps. This is just amazing, isn't it? Creating realistic metal text or things is just super easy with this. I think everyone of us has had problems doing realistic metal effects on photoshop, am I wrong?
In Photoshop you have the "bevel and emboss" style feature, and it works pretty well, but it isn't made for say: reflecting a window on the beveled text.Sphere maps are commonly used in gaming to simulate realistic reflection of 3d objects, and I can think of a million ways of using this technique on 2d. way of simulating this sphere map reflection on layers on Photoshop?
I've been using this as my desktop background for a few months now but I just noticed that I have no clue how I would acheive this effect. The effect I'm talking about is the red burst in the center. I know how the lettering and the symbol in the center was done but I'm not sure how to do that burst that looks so cool.
I'm trying to figure out a way to "knock-out" text from an opaque layer to reveal the background image beneath it. Essentially (I'm guessing), it would have the background image, then an opaque layer, then text.
I need to figure out some way (using masking?) to have the text be on the opaque layer and then knock it out like a die-cut so that it creates a hole in the opaque layer (where the text was) and ends up revealing the background layer beneath.
I used the paint brush on white back grount and made two big blobs of mixxed up squiggles on each side of the page. Then I went filter > blur > radial blur 100% x 2.
That makes the ripples, but I can't remember how to make the splash in the middle!!!
After the steps I cant remember I did render > sketch > chrome
how they made the attached image. I like the way the two shades of green curve down from the top right corners like that. I have created a rounded curve and have messed with the gradient but unfortunatly have had no luck.
I have had a request for a wallpaper similar to this dont worry this is just a mock up but I cant find a graffiti font that makes it stand out. preferably a solid face font. the job is very specific to have graffiti font. So if you know any that are not on dafont.com let me know. She has browsed the web looking and is not happy with any.
I work for a small non-profit and we don't have the resources to use the sort of freelance designers I would love to use, so I have to do a lot in-house. Recently I saw an effect that I would like to replicate.
It's a small image but you can see that it's a picture that's been blended with a cool blue effect. I would like to do this, but am not sure how to get there.
Ihow one can make a brush like this (the white dotted lines), so when you drag your brush in photoshop, they are spaced out nice like this (instead of doing it individually). If anyone knows how to do this, or know of places with brushes like these.
I came across this BLACK EYED PEAS poster a while back and thought the kind of half tone fade in the background was really cool and well done but for the life of me I can't figure it out? I'm pretty sure its not a gradient mask cuz the dots actually get smaller towards the bottom....I'm know its not that hard....right?
I was trying to make a signature with cool effects mixing filters, adding layers, gradients, etc. only thing i know to do is mix filters and add gradients.
I wanna have your opinions about my signature, and some tips on how to get better and better working on photoshop.
Evertime I try to open my 3-D Extrude and Bevel it opens the option screen but when I select anything on the screen it freezes then the program closes.
I am currently trying to make some text right with a pillow emboss effect. any time I try to save it or merge or flatten it the bevel effect completely disappears. I have Photoshop cs4 on Windows Vista.
