How can I create the effect of showing type on water? I don't know if I'm going to explain exactly what I mean, but I am picturing a final product that makes it seem that the type is part of the water body (e.g. ocean waves).
So, the type would float on the waves while being a part of the same water.
Am trying to achive the effect of the attached, I'm talking about the bottom half with the red colour. Sort of looks like water or wine has been spilt on the paper... Anyone seen anything like this, even something along the same lines would great as a starting point.
I want to make a fountain that has water jets that cause ripples when they hit the water. I have tried the basic reactor water and Pflow setup, as well as super spray, but neither seem to work. Is there any way to accomplish this without "faking" it by doing something creative with the water's texture?
I am starting a webcomic, and one of the scenes I have planned is going to be partially underwater. How do I do a good under water effect? I have looked several places but I could not find a tutorial on such. Plenty of creating it for a background, but not for what I need.
I'm using AI CC now, but I noticed this problem in earlier versions of AI: If I want to place a one-word label on an illustration I move the type insertion cursor to a speific point on the screen image and click, but then the flashing insertion point, where the label will actually start, pops up elsewhere, usually a line or two above where the cursor was, and a pica or two to the left, forcing me to type the label, then move it into position rather than simply typing it in the right place and moving on. The problem is merely annoying, but I'd like to fix it. It's probably a matter of ignorance-I simply haven't read the right documentation, but I don't know what to call the problem. Where can I find out how to change the position of the cursor relative to the insertion point?
I want to create text on a circle path, so drew the circle, went to the "type on a path tool" and clicked on the circle. I keep getting the message "can't create type". I have tried to use the direct selection tool to select the circle first and without the direct selection.
My Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1). This is what I have tried so far and the problem still exists. Â Check preferences for "Text": "Select text-object by path only" should be off. Checked. It was off. Didn't fix it. Check the toggle for Show/Hide Edges in the View menu. Cmd(Ctrl)-H. Checked. Edges Showing. Didn't fix it. Trashed my Prefeerences. Didn't fix it.
the type tool won't let me insert any type whatsoever in JPG or PSD files. I click the type tool and then click somewhere on the image and all it gives me is a dot but no flashing cursor. As I said, resetting my prefs/settings while starting up Photoshop did not help. Another weird thing it does is that when I go to Canvas Size for a medium sized image, it says that the width is 588 inches and the height is 288 inches.
I am trying to achieve an effect of tire tracks on water, as if a bus had just driven over it. I'm having a hard time making it look effective....at the moment the best i can do has turned out looking more like snow tracks more than anything else...
would anyone have any ideas on how i might achieve this effectively? Its supposed to be for a large poster so it has to look pretty good. I hope someone might have some ideas .
I have searched everywhere and i cannot find out how to do this, i first saw pictures like this in a worth100.com contest, all i want to do is change textures like this flame to water like they did
create a simple animation similar to the logo you see in the upper left of the screen. See the nifty water reflection on the "PT" logo?
I want to do something similar to that. How do I go about it? I want to make a water reflection animation on the underside of a boat. It is for a night time scene. I can't have too many frames and it needs to run at 30 fps.
i'm having issues finding the right tutorials to do what i'm trying to do.
Basically i want a water ripple like the one you see in the lake, but not from the top down, kinda like the front angle view. Then falling down would be a water drop with a globe in it.
If that's kind of hard to do, anythign with a water drop and ripples and a globe is fine,
its a cross country picture of some kids on bleachers and i wanted to add some affects to it. one was just to make it look lke half the picture was underwater and the view was from above.
i wanted the water level to go up to the front rows knees or chest and have reflections and ripple filters just as a normal picture with water in it would have. im not sure quite how to do this though.
Working on a poster in Illustrator. Have added area type, using the type tool. Now I'd like to increase the size of one line. I can't select or edit any of the type with the type tool. I moved the type to a new layer, saved, closed Illustrator, restarted my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). Looked in preferences, in case there's an issue there. No luck. Â By the way, I also don't see handles when in the selection tool any more. Don't know if that's related.
