Djisves Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Excellent tutorial, even more so for the chance to practice on @MJW's wonderful Height Map plugins. Thank you @lynxster4. The "bean" refers to the eMap I used. In case anyone wants to use it, it's "hidden" below (that is, I hope I remember how to "hide"). EDIT: No, it doesn't work. I hope someone lets me know how to. In the meantime, here is the eMap: Spoiler Edited May 30, 2020 by Djisves Added spoiler 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Looks cool @Djisves! 😁 And shiny, too! It makes very respectable 'chrome'. To hide text or an image: highlight it and press the 'eye' button. Tooltip is 'spoiler'. Spoiler highlight it and press the 'eye' button. Tooltip is 'spoiler'.

I've pinched the emap so thanks for the share @ANONYMISS ... left click and drag your mouse across the text you want to hide ... then click the icon Thank you@welshblue, and apologies to @lynxster4 I thought that this was about working within the PDN app - not the PDN forum.

Manc Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hi @lynxster4 I really enjoyed this tutorial, it's something I will come back to. Must admit, I tried it last week but gave up, glad I gave it another go. Cheers.😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manc Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Hi @lynxster4 Here's another effort. I used a fisheye lens image from google for the height map. Spent hours today messin with different fonts. So easy to do when you've got the settings set. Spent so long couldn't be bothered with the background.🙃 Thanks again.😉 Expect this image to be edited tomorrow, not happy with it.🤨 Edited November 7, 2020 by ipswichmanc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimewalkerAD Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Thanks for this! I've been struggling to make chrome effects. One thing that is throwing me in the tutorial: on step 9 it says to duplicate the text layer 2 times and erase the letters on each layer. I'm not sure what to do with that; if I delete that everything is gone? I ended up keeping everything on each layer and doing the texture shader on all 3 with different settings, then ended up using opacity on the layers to blend them. The result looks ok, but not looking as good as some of the examples I see here. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 @TimewalkerAD Welcome! Thanks for trying the tutorial. If you look at the screenshot that accompanies step 9, you'll see I left two (different) letters on each layer. The first layer contains the CH, the second layer contains the RO, and the third layer contains the ME. When using Texture Shader you will need to adjust the position of the emap to get more 'chrome effect' on the letters. Does this make sense to you? If you are trying this on 'Timewalker' you'll need more than 3 layers. I would duplicate (4) times and erase letters so you have TI on the first layer, ME on the second, WA on the third, LK on the fourth, and ER on the fifth. Try it again and let me know if you need more help. 😊 1 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimewalkerAD Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Thanks, my friend! That did the trick and I'm much happier with my end result. I put a glow effect layer on top, blended, and added some white starts to make it pop. I'm much happier now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
