That's really cool, but it kind of looks like Bullet for my Valentinf lol

Oops. Just realized that was there, lol. If it's moved I'm perfectly happy, but I can't believe I'm really that stupid. Thanks for pointing it out though, and thanks for the positive feedback. EDIT: whoever moved it, thanks!

Well, my tutorial hasn't exploded yet. Hope it stays that way. I've done better than this though, my personal favourite: I'm fairly sure that I did something with render clouds this time, but anyway, I love this one. Somehow it just feels a lot more realistic _

This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it Hello, today I'm going to demonstrate how to make text look like it's written in clouds. We'll start with a simple blue background, with some different shades of blue blurred in, gaussian blur about 120. OPTIONAL: You can add in dents or render clouds on a low transparency, but here I'm keeping mine simple. Next we create our text on a new layer, write whatever you want. If there's no fire, you've done it right! Now we need to apply dents, Scale 200.00 (sorry, I went wrong writing this first time and deleted a load, so can't find out what the others were. I can just guess a low number on all the others). Blur this on about 15 to 20 then duplicate the layer 3 times, and merge it down again. This just makes sure it's easily visible and not half-transparent. Now we apply dents, Scale 25, Refraction 25, Roughness 10, Tension 10, and whatever quality you want. I always have to use bottom quality levels as my computer will otherwise become ridiculously slow and occasionally crash. Gaussian blur this again, around 15 to 20, and duplicate and merge layers until happy, and hopefully you should end up with this: Thanks for reading, have a good day, but not a better one than mine.

Thats the difference between the tutorial and the plugin. I prefer this, for effect and because it probably took a lot of effort! Nice tutorial!

this works great in reverse on smartcars (sorry couldn't get the damn image in)
